Today at 10:00 A.M., I took a hike on the Jimmy Sims Birding Trail with a group of people led by Sam Woodroof, a park ranger for Joe Wheeler.
We saw Chanterelles, Jelly, Puffballs, and mushrooms. Mushrooms are fruiting bodies of fungi and a variety of species.

On the birding trail, we could hear a woodpecker but could never spot it. The trail ended at the overlook, but several of us walked a little further across a couple of creeks. It was a great day for hiking.
We saw some blooming Indian Heliotrope, an annual hirsute plant that is a common weed in waste places and settled areas. Widely used in native medicines.

Once we got back to the boating dock area, everyone was dispersed.
I walked down to the edge of the River at the docks, and that is where I saw a couple of gray herons, & a Muscovy duck.
