 Date and Time: September 29, 6:39 Weather: Cloudy, raining a little with a little breeze Air Temperature: 55 degrees  Length of Day: 11 hours and 52 minutes, Sunrise- 7:38, Sunset- 7:31 Organisms felt, heard, seen etc.: As the weather is getting colder, most of the leaves on the trees are falling off I noticed around the pond area. Everything is becoming less green and I noticed there are fewer plants like algae in the pond area. I noticed that there were less bird chirping and more crickets making noises. I didn't noticed any fish or saw any fish in the pond like I did last time I visited. I heard a few squirrels climbing up the trees right to the left of the bridge. I also noticed the pond looked a little darker then the last time I was here which could have something to do with all the plants dyeing as well.  Change since last visit: Not much change, fall colors were starting to show and overall there wasn't as much noise as there was last time I visited. 

 

From the short amount of time that I was there, I observed and noticed animals and wildlife. Here is the information on my first visit.  Date and time: September 8 at 7:15 p.m. Present climate conditions: It was a little windy and there was a nice breeze coming from the North.  Temperature: 71 degrees Length of Day: around sunset,  12 hours, 49 minutes  Organisms smelled, felt, heard or seen etc: I saw and heard lots of birds in the short amount of time I was there. I also could hear crickets and fish swimming and jumping around in the pond.  Changes since last visit: No changes noticed because this was my first time coming to the area to study.
