Area 4, like areas 2 and 3, is totally overgrown with Bahia grass, weeds, and blackberry brambles. The photo shows just 2 scrub oaks barely sticking their heads out above the grass. The view here is east towards Highland Lakes. The area is just off the scrub jay trail behind the southern cul-de-sac of Blue Savannah. No scrub jays were sighted.
More blackberries
The house in the background is at the cul-de-sac of Illumination Lane in Legacy.
Overgrown area 4 to the left, dead scrub oak below.
At the southern entrance of the scrub jay trail. This area is part of the enhancement area, but no scrub oaks were planted here. Scrub jays usually hang out here, especially after the Bahia grass to the right is mowed. We saw 5 scrub jays on June 13 and 3 on June 24th, 3 again on June 25, one of them definitely a baby. Since sprinklers were on on June 24th, other birds like cowbirds and a European starling had moved in to pick on worms and bugs flushed out by the water. Scrub jays prefer drier conditions.
