Evie's Field Study Project

   Hey guys!         It is BEAUTIFUL today! 56 degrees! I am living it! Perfect sweater weather, if you ask me. As you can see in my pictures - there are TONS of leaves (perfect amount for that right sound!). There were more people than last time on a walk but still not much. I still wasn't able to get any pictures of any animals, but I heard them!  Time: 5:26 - 5:45 pm Date: Friday, Oct. 30 Temp: 56 degrees (F) Day hours: 10 hrs and 23 min Climate: cool, perfect walking weather Animals: (that I heard) squirrels, insects, LOTS of birds Final notes and pictures:                As you can ALSO see in the pictures, the path is barely visible. I was surprised! Not even the end of October and most of the leaves are on the ground! And update on the white spots on leaves - I think it's time to ask someone about it because I haven't found any bugs by the leaves and I found some patches that remind me of human c...

 Hey guys!      Lots of leaves on the ground today. It was also much warmer than normal. Warmer than last visit. There were also short spurts of rain, probably why the squirrels weren't there. I did hear a lot more birds this time around.  Time: 7:08 pm Date: Monday, Oct. 12 Temp: 75 Day hours: 11 hours and 12 minutes Climate: rainy, warm, humid? Animals: didn't see any but I heard birds, squirrels, and insects Other observations: I smelled the after effects of smoke? The sunset was also very beautiful. There were still a lot of white spots on these leaves. (Pictures below!) (P.S. Two of my leaves were chopped by the mower after a gust of wind took them away :( so no measurements today for that because I have to set new leaves up that I collected today from my location).    Panorama Photo! Crazy how much of the tree is bare! Still confused at what these white spots are - on the left is bird poop and on the right it the spot ??????
