Field study #4

Image
 SUNDAY NOVEMBER 1 2026 12:41 PM WEATHER: high: 66 low: 48 wind: 3 mph  humidity: 58% visibility: 22 mi UV: 2  total Daylight: 10h 18 minutes. ( today was daylights saving time) today when I visited my field study location i heard tons of movement in the woods. Im pretty sure that it was a squirrel because i quick looked and saw something small and black run away. The creek and the trees look a lot different this time because the trees have a lot less almost no leaves on them. And all of the fallen leaves are in the creek making it look like the water levels are down a lot. Im not sure if they actually are or if the creek is just full of leaves. Another thing that changed because of the leaves is the visibility of the field behind the trees. Now that theres no leaves on the trees there is a very clear opening to see the field behind the trees. When i was looking at the field I was wondering how there is a open field right there? because the field is surrounded by woods on...

Field study #3

 Monday October 12, 2026 6:07 PM WEATHER:  high: 82 low: 56 wind: 8mph humidity: 68% visibility: 17 mi  UV: 0 Total Daylight: 11hours 16 minutes. When I was visiting my field study location i noticed that this time the trees had changed colors and most of the tree leaves had fallen already. In the creek i noticed a lot of fallen leaves and that made it so that it was harder to sere the bottom. I wonder if there is something on the leaves that makes the water murky? When i was in my field study location i heard movement under the bridge that i normally stand on. Im still not sure what it was but it sounded like something moving around. It was not supper fast and i could hear leaves moving so i am wondering if it was a snake. This time when I was observing my field study location i decided to go to the other end to see what it looked like from over there. I noticed that there were lots of fallen and dead tree trunks and branches in my path to get there I walked on the big t...

Field Study #2

 Saturday September 26, 2026 7:05 PM WEATHER: high: 71 low: 41  wind : 4 mph  humidity: 66% visibility: 18  total daylight: 11h 58 mins.  This time when I was visiting my location I noticed a movement in the plants near the little creek but i did not notice the water in the creek moving at all. This time I went a little later than last time so the sun was not shining through as much as last time. I noticed that I can see the bottom of the creek and the water is very clear even though the bottom is very murky. I wonder if this is because the creek is very shallow or because there is less phosphorus in the creek than there would be in the pond at Holland Christian. I also observed that there is no visible algae in the creek. This was a surprise to me after we studied algae in class but it would make sense because of how clear the bottom is.  My location looks very similar to when I visited it the first time, except for that the creeks water level is a little ...
