Date - November 24, 2024 Time - 12:50 pm - 1:00 pm Climate Conditions - The weather conditions were cool, a little breezy, cloudy, and the ground was a bit wet. Temperature - 45 ° Length of Day - 9 hours 26 minutes Organisms Noticed - Today I noticed very few animals, as the weather gets colder. I heard very few birds in the trees around me, and I saw one squirrel climbing up a tree. In regards to plant life I am also noticing less of it. There are still lots of leaves on the ground, but there is way less plant life in the trees, and less plants on the ground, like flowers, and other things. Also, I have noticed that there is hardly any algae left in the pond. Changes Noticed Since Last Visit - I continue noticing less and less organisms - animals and plant life. There were less birds, bugs, and animals walking around like squirrels and such. Also, less plant life in the trees, plants on the ground, and algae in the pond. It was also much colder outside, and the ground was pretty wet f...

Date - November 10, 2024 Time - 2:30 pm - 2:40 pm Climate Conditions - The weather conditions were pretty cool, breezy, cloudy, and a bit wet Temperature - 59 ° Length of Day - 9 hours 54 minutes Organisms Noticed - Today I noticed a couple of birds chirping in the trees above me. I also heard lots of tree frogs in the trees throughout the whole time I spent in my location. I also noticed some bugs flying around me. In regards to plant life: I noticed that my algae keeps decreasing, and lots of leaves are on the ground, and some of the plants life such as the bushes, and leaves are starting to die off as the winter approaches. Changes Noticed Since Last Visit - Today I kept noticing how the trees are becoming more bare, and there are lots of leaves on the ground. As I said earlier, the plant life is definitely starting to die off more, and the algae is the pond is decreasing. Also, I hadn't noticed the tree frogs before, but I heard them today! I am also starting to notice a decrea...

Date - October 29, 2024 Time - 3:25 - 3:40 pm Climate Conditions - The weather conditions were pretty warm, a little breezy, and sunny Temperature - 72 ° Length of Day - 10 hours 24 minutes Organisms Noticed - Today I noticed a squirrel walking on some fallen branches. I heard some bird chirps in the trees behind me. I also saw flock of birds flying above me while I was out there. I kept noticing similar plant life of trees, bushes, algae and so on, but some of the plant life is definitely starting to lose it's leaves, and die off as winter approaches.  Changes Noticed Since Last Visit - Today I really noticed a drastic change in the trees. They look way barer than the last time I visited. Relating to that, there were way more leaves on the ground, and lots of color change in the leaves. Also, there was so many leaves on the ground that you could hardly see the pond anymore. Pond Observation - Last field study I asked what may be affecting my algae, and to look into this is I studi...

  Date - October 13, 2024 Time - 5:15 pm - 5:35 pm Climate Conditions - The weather conditions were pretty cool, windy, rainy, cloudy, and wet. Temperature - 56 ° Length of Day - 11 hours 8 minutes Organisms Noticed - Today I didn't notice a ton of animals. I did notice a squirrel walking through the woods near the pond, and heard two different birds in some trees behind me, and some tree frogs also in the trees behind me. I also kept noticing lots of plant life, between the trees, brush, and the pond! Changes Noticed Since Last Visit - Today I really started to notice the trees changing color and lots of leaves on the ground. I also noticed that the water levels seemed to be higher today, but that was probably because I went out right after it was pouring rain. (I was interested in going out during the rain to see the differences that the rain made) - I did seem to notice that less animals were out, if this was due to the rain or because of the cold. Question - I have noticed some...

Temperature - 70 ° Length of Day - 11 hours 51 minutes Organisms Noticed - I noticed many organisms this time! I noticed lots of plant life again - trees, leaves, algae, bushes... I also visually noticed birds, bugs, squirrels, and some animal tracks heard lots of different animal sounds, and noticed movement in the pond! Changes noticed since last visit - I didn't notice a lot of changes from last time, but I did notice there seemed to be more trees that had fallen. I noticed more animals this time; this could be due to that it was warmer, or I wasn't paying close attention last time.

Temperature - 60 ° Length of Day - 12 hours 51 minutes Organisms Noticed - During my time there I didn't notice any organisms in person, but I did find two different types of tracks in the mud around the pond. Changes noticed since last visit - This was my first time visiting my location so I didn't notice any changes. Although, I have been out there before since I am focusing on my backyard, and I didn't remember as many fallen trees as I did this time.
