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 tree trunk across the creek and took some more pictures from over there. something cool I realized is that there is kind of a vine growing on that dead tree trunk. Field study #3 is the most fun one that i have done so far i think because i went exploring to the other side a little bit.

    Nice work! Love your pics and love your processing of what you're seeing! Any changes in bugs? Fungi? Flowers? Grasses? Watch for patterns in the color change and leaf fall especially now through your next 2 visits!

  Tuesday September 8, 2026 4:46 PM       WEATHER:  High: 79  Low: 57 Wind: 6 mph Humidity: 71 % Visibility: 18 mi  UV:3  Total Daylight: 12h 49 min   When I was visiting my location I noticed that the little creek that runs under the bridge does not have moving water. But every so often there looks something like a rain drop drops on the water even though it is not raining. it creates little tiny ripples in the water.  I wonder why it does that? is it little bugs that I cannot see? Also, just a little bit behind me is my backyard and the grass just recently got cut so I could smell grass. I also noticed lots of bugs and after doing my field notes realized that i got some bug bites. there were lots of flies and little nats. I noticed that the bugs were flying around the plants that were near the water and not so much the ones around farther away from the little creek. I did not notice any bugs or animals bigger than flies and n...

 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 ...
