JMN Class Volunteer at Berry Springs

The Good Water Chapter Junior Master Naturalist class spent a few hours today cleaning the "pond scum" from the pond area (a back area where one of the springs empties into a small pool connected to the other ponds. It is near the beaver dam.

One of the resident American Bullfrogs started calling about 2 p.m. and performed some good long calls. The JMNs were able to confirm this first observation from their September Amphibian training. We were all surprised to hear the calls mid-day and hope to come out in a few weeks for another Amphibian Watch at dusk.

I had a couple of firsts I was able to share with the JMNs. This is the first time I recognized the Williamson County Winecup. It is also my first Spotless Ladybird (at least I think it is).

These aren't all the observations, but we were here to clean, not observe so I only grabbed a few while waiting for the group (and when I simply couldn't help myself). I do love the winecups - what a treat!

It was a productive afternoon.

Also known as the Williamson County Winecup. First time to see them. At first I thought they were stunted pink ladies.

Just finished workday with junior master naturalists when I saw this ladybug on one of the jmn trainees. We quickly snagged some photos.
