Field study #6

 

• Date and Time: November 7, 2026 @ 10:11 
• Present climate conditions: cold and cloudy
• Temperature: 44 degrees 
• Length of day from sunrise to sunset: 10 hours and 3 minutes 
• Organisms smelled, felt, heard, or seen, etc: Birds (blue jay and woodpecker, very few since it is getting colder), lots squirrels, trees(Willow, Aspen, Maple, Sassafras, more), water, leaves in the river, colors on the leaves, White tailed deer.
• Changes noticed since the last visit: most of leaves have fallen and the trees are very bare, plus the branches in the river are still slowly moving toward me. Not many birds and it was quieter too. (little bit of wind and very few birds) 

Today it was colder compared to the past few weeks it had been warm especially at this time of the year. I brought Sophie again today cause she loves it and she was a very good listener. The trail was filled with leaves and all the trees were just branches. Plus there was a weird tree that I noticed had like 5 boards nailed to the left side of the tree with rusted nails and on the right side of the tree was a big hollow branched that swirled up, some animal has already made it it's home. We also saw a white tail deer, she saw us before we saw her and she scared me when she jumped away.

This is an image of Sophie watching a squirrel and not chasing it, I didn't even need to tell her to sit :)
