Field Study #4

-

 Picture of my spot:


 - Date: October 29, 4:29

- Climate: Fall, crisp air, dry

- Temperature: 68 degrees

- The length of the day: 8:09 AM to 6:46 PM

- Organisms I smelled/felt/heard/seen: I heard a lot of birds chirping in particular I heard and saw a Cardinal. I heard leaves falling again, and I could hear the wind blowing. I would sometimes hear something like a stick cracking due to squirrels. I could smell trees, and the musty smell of the river. I saw birds, in particular the Cardinal and lots of squirrels. I also came across a little toad.

- Changes noticed since last visit: Its colder, and there are even more trees that are colorful, and a lot more leaves on the ground. I am noticing that the water levels went down and I can see more sand on the edge of the river.

- Other questions or observations: Why is it that the water levels are going down? Is it because it is fall now?

    Love your pictures! Keep an eye on those water levels for your next visit! It's partly because it's been pretty dry lately... Any changes in insects? Any tracks? Fungi? Keep watching for patterns in leaf fall and for any other vegetation changes.

Picture of my spot:  - Date: August 26, 7:45 - Climate: late summer, and it is humid - Temperature: 74 degrees - The length of the day: 7:02 AM to 8:28 PM - Organisms I smelled/felt/heard/seen were musty water: Warm humid air, I heard crickets, bees, tree frogs, birds chirping, the water flowing, lots of greenery, and bugs. - Changes noticed since last visit: None because it is my first visit - Other questions or observations: The water used to be much higher when I would hike here when I was younger, does the level just depend on the year, or is it going to continue to drop water levels?
