Field Study #1

 Field study visit #1: 


Today is Saturday September 5, 2026 at 5:33 pm. Today was kind of rainy and pretty cloudy but ended up being a pretty nice partly sunny night. The temperature now was 75 and cloudy with a little sun. Todays length of day was 13 hours and 1 minute.

I felt like today my 30x30 area was pretty wet from the rain earlier in the day. The grass and brush that I stepped in was pretty damp still and I could feel the rain drops from the trees fall onto me. Yet, there was still quite a few birds out chirping and flying around. 

A question that I was thinking about while doing this is how much color is going to be changing within the next few months? I'm wondering how soon it will go from green to all the fall colors like orange, red and yellow.

    Good start with the field notes. Give a little more info about what you're seeing...different types of birds? where? doing what? Bugs? Any squirrels or other critters...? Love the panorama!

 Field study visit #2:  My Observations:  Today is September 26 at 6:49 pm. Tonight was a pretty sunny and nice night, which was nice because it rained last time! The temperature tonight was 63 degrees with about a 7 mph wind. The total daylight was 11 hours and 58 minutes.  While doing this field study i noticed that there was a lot of birds chirping and squirrels running around. That was kind of fun to see because last time i didn't really see any wild life but this time i did. I also can start to see a big change in the color of the leaves. As my video shows, theres quite a bit of leaves that are still green but as fall is rolling in, some that are starting to change colors and start dropping from the trees.                                                      My Vide...

 October 8, 2026 My Observations:  Tonight is October 8 at 6:58 pm. Tonight was a very sunny clear night but a bit brisk, i can for sure feel the fall weather rolling in. Todays high was 71 with a low of 47, but particularly when I did this field study it was 58 degrees outside. Today had a high of 10 mph winds. The total daylight today was 11 hours and 23 minutes.  Tonight when doing this field study I definitely noticed a lot of the leaves falling and changing colors. I remember when I first did my field study everything was so green and healthy but its all starting to come down and change colors! Its super cool to be doing this in the fall. Some nature things I noticed from tonight were a few birds chirping but I didn't see a ton more animals. I saw some birds flying but no squirrels were out and running around tonight.  Some wonderings I had from tonight:  - How much is the weather going to affect the wild life I see in my location?  - How much more am ...
