Field Study #4

 Date and Time: October 30, 5:45

Weather: Cloudy and cold 

Air temperature: 49 degrees 

Length of day: 10 hours and 22 minutes, Sunrise- 8:14, Sunset - 6:37

Organisms felt, heard, seen etc: When I went and observed around sunset, it was pretty quit out. There were a few ripples in the water from the fish and I heard some birds coming from the right of the pond in the trees and I could also hear a few cars passing on the road nearby. For the most part it was very quiet which is a change since my first and second visit when it was a little warmer out. 

Change since last visit: I noticed that a lot of the algae that was on the pond turned black and was more towards the edge of the pond and not in the middle. A lot of the plants looked dark brown, red or some of them even black and so did the water. There was a lot of trash near the edges of the pond. There is a few leaves on the trees from a distance but no leaves on the trees by the pond. Theres a lot more sticks laying around on the trails and in the water which is probably from a couple of storms in the past. The biggest change since last visit is most of the plants are now dead and the colors are changing more and more darker.

    Did you notice any patterns in the color change or leaf fall? Be sure to include your sketches, sound map and yourself in one of the 6 pics from the same location!

Date and Time: October 13, 6:15 Weather: Cloudy, windy and was raining a little Air temperature: 52 degrees  Length of Day: 11 hours and 10 minutes, Sunrise- 6:56, Sunset- 6:07 Organisms felt, heard, seen etc: For the short amount of time that I was there today, I noticed there were not a lot of things that I could hear. I noticed that all the green algae that was on top of the pond turned black and was sitting in clumps at the top of the pond. A distance away I could hear a few squirrels climbing up and down the trees to the left of me but other then that didn't hear really anything else.  Change since last visit: Since my last visit, theres a lot more leaves on the ground and in the pond then in a trees. There are almost no more leaves on the trees surrounding the pond. Some of the bushes surrounding the pond are becoming more of a red color then a green and there are a lot less plants growing along side the pond.
