 Date and time: Monday, October 31 at 3:32 Length of day: 10 hours 21 minutes Temperature: 58 and felt like 58.  Climate Conditions: Totally overcast, 3 mile an hour south west wind, nice steady drizzle.  Notes: Field study was exceptionally boring today, saw nothing but a few birds flitting about. Weather is quite nasty to sit in as its not quite cold, theres not much breeze and its exceptionally humid which I hate. All I saw as far as wild life other than birds go was a squirrel up in a tree for a few brief seconds. He climbed in and out of view quickly.  Changes Noted since last Study: What few deciduous trees are in the area of my field study have lost most of their leaves, ferns are still dead unsurprisingly, there is still some green grass. Not much other than that has changed that is noticeable.

 Date and Time: Saturday, October 15, 4:42 Length of day: 11 hours and 3 minutes Temperature: 51 farenheit, 45 with wind chill according to the weather channel.  Climate conditions: 17 mile per hour south west wind, partly cloudy with no precipitation, very comfortable weather with sweatshirt on.  Notes: Saw two full grown deer moving around browsing between two trees beyond my field study area, they were quite alert and seemed suspicious of everything, watched them for a few minutes before they moved along and out of sight.

Wind was very chilly and sun didn't do much to provide warmth.  Changes noted since last study:  Although not easily visible due to the glare in the picture, all of the non coniferous trees in the woods are now changing color and some have lost most of their upper leaves already, as usual coniferous trees are still green and warm looking, ferns have all died a...

 Field Notes Date and Time: Tuesday, September 27 at 6:15  Climate Conditions: 10-15 mph winds coming from the north, was very overcast and was raining very lightly.  Temperature: Temperature was at around 55 degrees but wind chill made it feel cooler. Length of day: 13 hours 9 minutes from sunrise to sunset Notes: Not much moving today possibly due to nasty weather, trees were getting beat by the wind, saw a turkey walking slowly way back in the woods beyond my field study area.  Changes noted since last study: Tree was uprooted by heavy winds not too long ago, most ferns are now dead and withering/browning due to cold, pine/coniferous trees are still green obviously, Other trees have not quite begun changing color.
