Field Notes #3


  Date of Visit: October 15, 2024

Time: 3:43pm - 3:58pm

Length of Day: 7:58am-7:01pm (11 hours 2 minutes)

Temperature: 52°F

Weather Conditions: Mostly sunny, little cloudy

Organisms:

Felt: Trees, fallen leaves

Heard: Rustling leaves in the distance

Seen: Falling leaves everywhere, trees, red berries, smaller plants that are still green

Smelled: Dirt, Trees


The trees themselves in my location had mostly green leaves, the colorful leaves seem to just fall to the ground so it looks like the trees are still green. The frogs were gone this time, some holes in the ground filled. Water in the creek was running, sometimes during the visit it isn't as much but this time you could see the water moving. Saw some animal tracks next to the water, picture of one of them below:

Some spots pool up with water, while others are a little more dry.

  Date of Visit: October 31, 2024 Time: 3:53pm-4:24pm (31 minutes) Length of Day: 8:18am-6:37pm (10 hours 19 minutes) Temperature: 63°F Weather Conditions: Cloudy, a little rain at the start Organisms: Felt: Trees, leaves Heard: Birds Seen: Trees and other plants Smelled: Dirt and wet plants Leaves were absolutely everywhere, in the water and all over the floor. I still barely see any organisms, not even squirrels. There was a new fallen tree since my last visit along with the fallen leaves, could've been wind or an organism but I am unsure. No frogs anymore probably till it gets to spring again so we'll have to see if there is anything interesting that'll happen, but this is a pretty silent and calm location.
