    Glen Walter Regional Park Pond by Heidi Baumann

    1. There was a small baby squirrel alone near the pond, it was shaking (most likely out of fear), and seemed to be uninjured. We left him alone as there are many trees and tall grass areas nearby the pond where lots of mammals live. 2. Due to the large amount of rain this area has been getting lately there was some mud surrounding the pond, and large amounts of mosquitos all over the pond and park.
