Today I went to Fort Ward Park on Bainbridge Island. I started on a path in the forest that led all the way to a meadow which was next to a rocky beach. The forest path immediately had wildlife on it, as I saw a banana slug on the ground and raccoon climbing a tree. I had never seen a raccoon climb a tree in this way before. It was a unique behavior and certainly interesting, digging its claws as it circled near the top of a tree. There were so many trees in this park! At first I saw a Western Hemlock as well as Douglas Firs and various pines. There were many ferns and small plants, including beach strawberry plants. At the end of the path I walked across a grassy meadow to a beach, only to see a Townsend’s chipmunk on the beach. It was difficult to get a picture of it because it was running so quickly under large rocks, but it was interesting to see this chipmunk in a different environment. I walked past a WWII bunker in the park which had ferns and moss growing on it, and found a small path that went along the edge of a forest and beach. The forest had a lot of small trees and pants including a plum tree. At the end of this path I hiked back through the forest looking at many large trees. It was clear that these trees were very old.
