Field Study 5

  Date: 11/15/22

Time: 4 PM

Climate: Snowy, slightly windy, overcast.

Temp: 33 Degrees F

Length of Day: 9 Hours and 43 Minutes

Organisms: Not very much movement today, one of the first snowy days and most organisms seem to be staying away. I was out for longer than usual doing my soundmap but still had no large organisms. I did hear quite a few birds chirping in the distance and saw the same usual algae in the water, but that was about it.

Changes: Lots of changes this field study. The most noticeable of these of course being the snow on the ground. Also the corn has been cut down and the water level has dropped. The cattails seem to be a lot more droopy than they have been in the past and the trees are completely bare of leaves. The snow stopped while I was out there but has since picked back up again. Also no organisms is a big change from the first four as in those even if there was nothing big, there could usually be a few insects and possibly a frog, but nothing today.

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.
