Saturday, October 15, 10:36a.m.

Light Breeze, Cloudy, Cold

45°F

11 Hours 7 Minutes of day length

I heard the wind on the trees which is pretty normal, The leaves on the trees are really yellow, and orange. I saw and heard a few birds chirping, but not a lot. On a rare occasion there was a bird  that would fly overtop. 

There are a lot more leaves on the ground, and they are all yellow and orangish. Lots of the plants that were on the ground are starting to die off even more, and they as well are starting to turn yellow. There is still no algae on the pond, and there are a lot less birds, and no crickets than last time.

Questions?
When will all of the leaves be off the trees?
When did all of the crickets leave, where did they go?
Does algae not grow int eh cold because there has been no algae recently?
Where does the muskrat go in the winter, I have not seen him?
How long until all of the plants are dead?

    Watch for patterns in the color change/leaf fall. Fungi? Tracks? Bonus if you figure out your cricket and muskrat questions and post answers (with sources) with the next field visit post.

  Weekly Picture Extra Picture Extra Picture Extra Picture Sunday, November 13 11:10a.m. Snowing hard on and off, a pure white sky. The snow flakes are big, and seem to slowly float down. 34°F 9 hours and 49 minutes of day light I felt the snow on the ground, it made it cold, on my hands, and face. I felt the snow flakes coming down slowly. I did not hear a much at all a few cars going by that is it. I saw the trees, and plants with snow hanging off of them. Some of the changes that I noticed from the last visit, first of all, there is now snow on the ground, and everything is wither brown or white there are no colored leaves anymore, everything is covered, and leaves are all gone. The trees and the plants that are still alive are covered in snow, some more of plants have died. Sketch  (Sorry it is sideways I don't know how to rotate it.)
