Wildlife here in Hopkins Park can be very interesting. Birds chirp in the morning. Squirrels dig for their breakfast.
You might even see a deer run across the road while sitting in your car. Or you might see a wild mother dog nurturing her puppies. Or every now and then, you can catch a woodpecker hammering a tree in search for insects, or humming birds sipping nectar from flowers, or rabbits hopping through the woods or across someone’s front yard.
