For this assignment, I decided to go on a trip to Golden Gate Park. Knowing full well that there would be many many planted/non-indigenous species there, I made it my mission to find the indigenous ones. First, I kept coming across an interesting weed with blue flowers that I assumed was indigenous because of it's commonness across the park: part of the plants iconic taxa. Next, I was walking through the park and kept catching glimpses of a very quick bird, and when I finally caught a shot of one, I assumed it too must take kindly to the park because of the amount of them I saw: part of the bird iconic taxa. Lastly, I wanted to find an insect that I couldn't identify, so I lifted up a log. I found termites, and then I saw an interesting bug protecting a bunch of eggs. I could not see the full bug, nor would it move, but I made the assumption that it was part of the insect iconic taxa.
Bird that landed for a very brief period of time
Insect found under log that seemed to be protecting it's eggs
Weed growing throughout park, seemed more likely to be indigenous due to frequency of spotting.
