Date: September 21

Time: 6:15-6:45pm

Weather/Climate: Cool, Partly Cloudy

Temp: 82 degrees

Length of Day: 12 hours, 15 minutes


Organism Observations: I observed many different organisms. I heard a few frogs while I was sitting there multiple times. I also saw and heard a robin nearby. I heard fish or frogs splashing int the water as well. There were a lot more bugs flying around while I was sitting there, and I also heard crickets multiple times.

Changes since last visit: There were a few changes I noticed since the last visit. The main thing I noticed was the water was quite a bit higher than the previous time. You can see in a picture below that the plants are underwater in the river. I had previously stood on some rocks on the bank and this time they were underwater so I couldn't. The water was also a lot dirtier and not nearly as clear as it had been. Another change would be the leaf color. The leaves were starting to change color and they were still mostly green but definitely had more fall colors.

I noticed a lot of plants including some wildflowers and weeds along the river. I also noticed many large trees around my area. You could smell all the greenery in the area because we were in the woods. The stream had many water bugs on it and many minnows swimming throughout it, and I also saw birds, squirrels, dragonflies, and other bugs. I didn't see any frogs but I heard a frog multiple times throughout the visit. I heard many organisms like frogs, insects, and birds.
