field study

 Date September 20 ,2025 at 12:25 pm  

There was a slight wind and it was partly cloudy 

temp 66 degrees  

4 hours and 55 minutes after sunrise 

4 hours and 45 minutes before sunset 

There where several geese in the pond as I approached my spot however they left before I could take any pictures. you could also hear several birds around (not birds I recognized). 

There where not a ton of changes since the last time I visited however I did notice that they seemed to be a lot more algae then before. 

One question I wondered about was: There where a lot of the same plant (same as I sketched) that seem to be growing but I can figure out what it is? 


NOTE - I HAD TO SWITCH MY SPOT FOR MY SAME SPOT PICTURE. SO IT IS DIFFRENT THEN BEFORE.

    Looks good. If you have more algae, you can look into the idea of fall turnover and think about it this might be what you're seeing. Bonus if you post pictures and discussion of it with next visit.

Field study 4

October 17  3:36 pm  The climate conditions where cloudy and windy  It was 68 degrees with a feels like of 61 because of the wind gust  3 hour and 22 minutes till sunset and 7 hour and 35 minutes after sunrise  I saw a squirrel, deer, long legged bird. I felt the crunch of dead leaves under my feet. I heard many leaves rustling in the wind.  The leaves on the trees have slowly stared to change colors to yellows and oranges.  I noticed that coming in the later afternoon it tends to be when more animals are visible.  I wonder if there are any fish in the pond I have been observing? Is all the algae in the pond an invasive species?
