Do you know the difference between a bluegill and a large mouth bass? Thanks to a young, talented artist at Hoyt Farm, learning the local animal species is as simple as a walk in the park.

Working at the farm for the summer, Jillian Mathosian, 22, of Kings Park, spends most of her days helping visitors navigate the park, feeding the animals and helping wherever an extra pair of hands is needed.
