Field Study No. 2

Date and time:  Saturday, September 28, 3:00

Present climate conditions: Cloudy. 

Temperature 73

length of day: 11 hours and 50 minutes.

organisms smelled, felt, heard, or seen, etc (sketches/photos/video where possible) 

Water: Minnows are still in shallow, the water has risen since last visit. The water temperature went down along with the algae growth as well.

Meadow/Beach: I saw more deer tracks in the wet beach mud and the beach has expanded. The grass is starting to die, but the moss still looks healthy and well. 

Woods: The moss in the woods was looking very dry, but it is surprising with the amount of rain we have got in the last few days. The trees look very similar to what they did when I last did my field study, but I did observe a mushroom that looked very brown and almost like a piece of bark.I also heard a phoebe calling off in the distance.

Changes noticed since last visit: Water level rising, beach expanding, grass dying, moss looking dry in the woods, clear/ colder water than last time, and less birds singing.

    GREAT PICS! Great observations! Keep watching your algae and start watching for patterns in color change and leaf fall.
