For this week, I headed to Montgomery Hill Park, which is where our middle school used for Cross Country practice, so it was a little bit nostalgic for me. Having already been to the area a while back, I sort of knew what I was in for. It happened to be extremely hot that day (today), and the area is very dry to begin with. The area has two parts to it, with steep hills on one side and a flat, large circular dirt area on the other side, with trees lining the perimeter. I walked around the circular dirt area, which is around half a mile and there was almost no shade along the path. I believe that the area's plant community can be classified as a dry chaparral, due to the lack of tall trees and the presence of dense brush.

I also saw a peacock in my backyard so I went ahead and observed that on iNaturalist too.
