Field Study #4



 















Notes


Date and time: Monday October 31, 2022

Climate and present weather: There is a lot of cloud cover, It had rained overnight and it is kinda drizzling so it is a little bit damp, the air felt kinda thick almost like kinda a fog. 

Temperature: The temperature today is 60 degrees this is cooler than the last time that I came


Length of day: 10 hours 21 minutes

Organisms: When I walked up to the pond there were frogs that were still chirping and this surprised me because of the weather. As i walked further into the woods I saw that the log was growing new moss and fungi. Then there were 3 deer that ran away about 80 yards away from me, I noticed there were scrapes on trees from bucks and that was probably why. I went hunting the night before and I saw a few doe but no bucks. There are plenty of signs of bucks thought. 

Changes since I was last there: There were a lot more dead leaves and you could notice the woods looking less full than usual and it smelled more like decomposition if you know what i'm talking about almost like that fall smell. There was new moss on the fallen tree and more fungi I hadn't noticed before. The Temperature was cooler and the pond had more sediment in it guessing it is from the rain. I also noticed that the reeds were dead which is probably from the cooler weather.

    Don't forget sketches and to be sure you are in one of the "same spot" photos.

Length of day: 11 hours and 47 minutes Organisms: When I was walking passed the bond I immediately noticed less frog noises and less crickets, there was still and lot of little buzzing noises from I think cicadas, a few crickets here and there, I saw a few squirrels running along the branches of the pine trees and the oak trees. I noticed there was a bunny sitting under the fallen tree I couldn't get a picture because when I got closer it ran off. unfortunately no deer this time I think there were deer last time because when I went it was closer to night and they like moving around w...
