Field Study 4

Image
 Date: 10/31/22 Time: 4 PM Climate: Overcast, slightly drizzly Temp: 59 Degrees F Length of Day: 10 Hours and 21 Minutes Organisms: When I walked out I saw a little white bunny dart into the cornfield. This is probably the biggest thing I have seen at my field study so far. I was also there a few days ago and saw a deer running into the field, I got a picture of it when it was on the other side of my yard, so it wasn't directly in my 30x30 box, but it was close enough that I thought I would include it. I also saw some animal poop that shows there are more animals there, if you catch them at the right time. Changes: The plants, and the cornfield continue to get more of a yellow tint. The water level continues to rise as it rains more and more, and continues to be the highest I have seen it. The corn will be coming down soon, and the leaves have been coming off the trees.

Field Study 3

 Date: 10/14/22 Time: 4:00 PM Climate: Partly Cloudy, Slight Breeze Temp: 55 Degrees F Length of Day: 11 Hours and 7 Minutes Organisms: Not very many today, mostly just algae, as shown in my picture of the water. Could hear the crickets chirping, and saw a few worms and other small creatures, but a fairly quiet day in terms of wildlife.  Changes: Today there were the most changes I have seen in my study so far this year. The corn has gone from mostly green with a slight yellow, to completely yellow as we near harvest. It may be gone completely by the next time I get there. With the heavy rain this week, this is the highest the water level has been, being close to my knee at its deepest level. As we get into fall the entire field has began to get more yellow than it was before.
