Isabella's Field Study

Field Notes Date:  October 30, 2022 Time:  12:02 p.m. Temperature: 56° Climate Conditions:  Partly sunny, hazy, no breeze.  Length of Day:  10 hours 24 minutes What I Heard:  I heard  the buzzing of the phone towers, birds, and could finally hear the creek babbling, all of these things I heard very clearly. Mostly because every time I visit my spot, it's windy or rainy, so it was nice to finally be able to appreciate the serenity of my little spot.  What I Noticed:  The pictures a little blurry, but as you can see, it changed so quickly over the past two weeks!

And I found that it's the natural result of decomposition of plants and animals....

Length of Day:  11 hours 6 minutes What I Heard: I heard a  lot of birds for the first time, and the buzzing of the phone towers.  What I Noticed:  Overall, the actual picture of my spot (above) looked the same. The leaves on the trees, as you can see, have not yet started changing colors. The water, however, seemed significantly higher/deeper than it had been for the past couple months.  .      There was these "suds" in  several areas of the water.  There were these berries (small red ones) that seemed to  have grown around the stream as I hadn't noticed them  before.  Very close to my spot (Kollen Park) is a nest for bald eagles that was very exciting for people about two years ago.  And today, much to my surprise, I saw two in...
