October 31, 2024 Date and time: 1:00 Present climate conditions: Cloudy, windy, light rain Temperature: 66 degrees length of day: 10 hours and 20 minutes organisms smelled, felt, heard, or seen, etc (sketches/photos/video where possible) Water: The water by the cattails was covered in the dead leaves that had fallen from the trees. It was very windy, so most of the minnows were by the shore under the dead leaves. See the video I attached to see the minnows. The water was definitely more clear then any of the other times I have seen it, and much more cold. Meadow/Beach: This area looked very similar to what I saw last time, if not the same. The major changes were how some of the plants have died, the beach being very muddy (probably from all of the rain), the cattails were in the process of turning yellow, and there were a few new sets of deer tracks. Woods: In the woods, pretty much all of the leaves have fallen of the trees, but there are a few small saplings that still ha...

Field Study 3
Date and time: Friday, October 11, 2024 at 1:00 Present climate conditions: Partly cloudy Temperature: 68 degrees length of day: 11 hours and 13 minutes organisms smelled, felt, heard, or seen, etc (sketches/photos/video where possible) Water: The water was really low this time. The average depth of the pond when I looked across it was about two feet. Because of this I didn't see kind of bigger bass or bluegill. I did see a decent amount of minnows swimming in the shallow water. All of the minnows in the shallow water have grow a lot since the first field study, some of them being about 2 inches. There was no algae growth what so ever, and the water was perfectly clear. Meadow/Beach: The beach is enormous because of the low water table. There is a four foot section of beach in some areas. The meadow is also very dry, with most of the moss and grass looking dormant or dead. I had to did about 3 inches into the soil to feel any kind of most sand/dirt. Woods: The w...
