#2 Field Study

Weather: Cloudy, slight south 6mph wind, slightly rainy

Temperature: Current: 54℉ --- Low: 43℉ --- High: 56℉

Length of the day: 7:38am-7:31pm

Today it was very quiet outside. From the last time I visited my spot the temperature has dropped immensely, it's finally starting to feel like fall again. The leaves have barely changed any color only the tips have really changed. The air smelled fresh but with hints of soil and rotting trees. All in all, there hasn't been any huge changes from when I last visited.  

#1 Field Study - 9/13/22

Weather: Cloudy, chance of rain, bits of sunshine, slightly windy

Temperature: Current: 70℉ --- Low: 51℉ --- High: 72℉ 

Length of the day: 7:22am-7:58pm

Today I noticed that the leaves have slowly started to change color on the top but they're barely visible. The temperatures have been getting slightly colder making it start to feel like fall. There were a lot of different birds chirping, there were insects that were making noise (I think mostly cicada's and some crickets). The air smelled like leaves and dirt which I'm assuming were from the decomposing fallen trees. I saw some deer on the way to my study area, it looked like two fawns. One thing that changed is that the "stream" was actually dried up from the last time I've been there, it now is flooded with weeds and other growth around it. Also like I said before the leaves are slowly changing to a less deep color of green into a lighter palish green, the leaves are on the verge of to the point where they're going to change color. I also found an animal hole (I think).
