Field Visit #4

-

 Time: October 20 at 2:45 pm

Temperature: 61° F

Weather: Cloudy

Day length: 10 hours, 24 minutes (8:15am-6:39pm)

Observations:

Most of the trees had lost their leaves and I think this happened fairly recently as the leaves on the ground hadn't started to decompose yet, they were still very bright and crunchy. I also noticed a few cricket sounds. In general everything in my area has become pretty dead. I also noticed that a lot of the leaves on the ground were bright red.

Changes: At my last visit there were still a lot of leaves on the trees but at this one they all seemed to have fallen. I wonder if this was caused by the cold and rainy weather we had this past week. I also noticed very few bird sounds, i only heard around two the entire trip.

North

South

East 

West.


As I mentioned earlier the trees had seemed to have lost all their leaves between my two visits. I noticed in my data that south seems to be different from the other three directions. The numbers in North, East and West are fairly similar but Souths numbers seem to be different.

    Good work! Look at your overall data at this point. You should be starting to see some trends (like the south!)

I also noticed that most of the leaves were still green and on the trees but there were a few yellow leaves and a few on the ground all ready.  Changes: This was my first visit so I didn't have any changes  Pictures This is one on the many bees I saw A few of the flowers I found Under a large pine tree in my area  Panorama of my area Leaf Color and Fall Research North South East West

Time: November 13 at 2:10 pm Temperature: 35° F Weather: Snowing Day Length: 9 hours, 49 minutes (7:33am-5:22 pm) Observations:  The most obvious observation was that there was snow on the ground but I also noticed that well I was wandering around I heard no animals, birds or insects. I noticed that the snow was very wet and starting to melt and I think that had to do with the temperature only being a little below freezing. Changes: It looked like just about everything had died at this point, accept there was one little area of green where things seemed to be unaffected by the weather.

  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 vi...
