2nd Visit (9-26-2010)

Today I made my second official visit to my area. As I was walking towards it I heard birds chirping back and forth. I also saw and felt some mosquitos flying around. I also found some fungi growing on a stick and a mushroom.

I also found some spider webs on the bottom of a branch.

 I also took my soil samples from my three locations. The temperature was 59° and the length of the day was 11:57. The last thing that I did was take a picture by setting my camera on the same branch of a tree.

I couldn't really tell that much of a difference from the last visit I made, but I think as the seasons change to fall I will be able to tell a bigger difference in the future.

Research Data Visit (Sept 15, 2010)

I made a visit today to get some soil samples for my original research, but I didn't make a full visit. The temperature was 70° when I went out and hours of daylight was 12:30.

My First Visit, September 13, 2010

This was my first visit to my location for my field study. I went out at around 7:45 PM. The temperature was 72° and the length of day was 12:36 minutes. There were a few clouds in the air but other than that it was a clear day. When I got there it looked like this.

I didn't see very many large organisms except for a squirrel. I also did see some pellets on the ground from most likely a rabbit. I felt some mosquitoes landing on me too. I wasn't able to smell anything though, because I had a stuffy nose. This is the picture that I took that I will take from the same spot every visit.

I can't wait to return to see how it will have changed!
