Field Visit #6

-

Time: November 27 at 12:15 pm

Temperature: 42° F

Weather: Cloudy and rainy 

Day length: 9 hours and 22 minutes (7:50am-5:12pm)

Observations: 

I noticed that there were lots of different bird call during my visit, I for sure heard three different ones and there were probably more. Other than that everything looked very similar to my last visit, it looked like almost all the plants were dead, accept for the grass and small plants on the ground.

Changes:

This visit was very similar to my last, almost nothing changed between these two visits. But from the beginning of my visits a lot has changed. One specific thing is these weeds/flowers(see picture below), in the beginning they were yellow, as time went on it seemed like they had died and turned fluffy, almost like a dandelion. After that I though they really died but this visit it almost seemed like there was something new on them, but I cant tell it its new growth or remnants of the previous "fluff"

At this point I've noticed that the data in each direction is looking similar, this is probably because it has been cold long enough that no matter what kind of trees there are, all the leaves have fallen.

Field Visit #5

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...
