Date: Oct 30, 2026

Time: 3:30-4:00

Weather/Climate: partly sunny, cool, slight breeze

Temp: 56 degrees

Length of Day: 10 hrs 23 min


Organism Observations: I heard the water moving by me and the wind going through the trees. I also heard a crow most of the time while I was there. I heard something moving in the woods nearby but didn't see anything. I also heard a fish or frog or something moving in the water.

Changes since last visit: Most of the leaves from the trees have fallen off since the last time I was there. Lots of the other brush around has also died more and everything look more brown since last time. There also was some oil or something along the side of the river in one spot.


I wonder what was in the water (in picture) and how it got there. I wonder how long it will take for all the plants to look dead and when it will get cold enough for the water to start freezing and if it will ice over in the winter.

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 st...

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.
