Field Visit #3

 Time: October 9, 2:40pm

Temperature: 61° F

Weather: Mostly cloudy 

Day Length: 11 hrs 40 minutes (7:51 am - 7:11 pm)

Observations: 

There was lots of bird activity during this visit. I heard lots of birds in all parts of my area but especially in one area where there are some trees but not a lot. I noticed that more trees had yellow or red leaves instead of green leaves. I also noticed that a lot of small insects around. One interesting thing I found as that all they yellow weeds or flowers I saw in my first visit had changed and were fuzzy(see picture below). I also noticed that one tree was bright red(see picture below) and I wonder what that one is so much different than all the other trees. 

Changes:

This time there was a lot more bird sounds and I think that is because it was very nice outside. I'm also starting to notice that things are starting to die as it gets colder. Things like small trees or bushes. I also saw a lot more of the New England Aster this visit than I did last visit.

I'm noticing that the amount of green is going down but it's not going down at the same rate in all directions. I wonder if this is simply because they're different trees or if it is something else.
