The woodlands and open areas along the greenway support
numerous species of birds, including several which have become
uncommon in Mecklenburg County in recent years. Field sparrows
which can be seen and heard in grassy and weedy fields and
clearings, and Kentucky warblers can be found in rich woodlands
along McDowell Creek.

Low lying depressions along the greenway hold water for much of
the year and become breeding locations for several amphibious
species including fowler’s toads and upland chorus frogs. Listen for
the various calls of these and other frog species in late winter and
early to mid spring.

greenway walk.
Several species of milkweed can be found along the greenway.
Glenridge
These plants get their name from their milky sap, which
can be
toxic to many animals. Several types of insects feed upon this sap
and store the toxins in their bodies which makes them distasteful to
predators. Some of these insects, including the milkweed beetle,
the milkweed bug and the monarch butterfly, wear nature’s warning
colors for poison such as “orange and black” or “red and black”.
Keep an eye out for them as you walk along the greenway.
