Blog Post #5

 Date and Time: Sunday, November 13

Length of day: 9 hours 50 minutes. 

Temperature: Weather channel says 34 degrees. 

Climate conditions: East wind at about 4 miles an hour, no precipitation, cloudy, 71% humidity.

Notes: This field study has been by far the coldest, I waited for it to stop snowing to do mine as the snow was wet and heavy while it fell, after the snow I watched two Blue Jays flying around, they didn't seem to have anything to do other than bother each other, they were both very colorful and had bright blues and whites all over. Thought about drawing one of them but they were a ways away and constantly flying around. This didn't happen during my field study this time but earlier in the week I saw a monstrous buck run through the clearing, I'm betting it was chasing the trail of some does that went through there the afternoon before, It was a solid 10 point and was really awesome. He turned around and ran when he saw me. 

Changes noted since last study: The biggest change i've noticed would obviously be the snow and the freezing cold weather compared to three days before which was over 70 degrees. Also there are no leaves left on the deciduous trees, ferns are still dead but not decomposing real fast. 

Something I wondered: How do this years climate conditions compare to previous years?

Date and Time: 11/30/2022 Length of day: 9 hours 18 minutes Temperature: 31degrees fahrenheit.  Climate conditions: Very windy with gusts exceeding 20 miles per hour. Wind is coming from the west and is extremely cold. Was overcast earlier but very little precipitation.  Notes: Did not see anything except a squirrel climb up a tree which was not in my field study area anyway, only sat for a 15 minutes as the wind was freezing cold, didn't hear anything either. All snow has melted other than that I haven't noticed any changes.

Bio Field study #3

 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. Other than that didn't see much else moving other than a squirrel up in the trees. 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...
