Bio Field Study

 1:15 October 30  60ºF Cloudy with lots of sunlight 10 hours 24 minutes This visit has been much more exciting than the last. Although it is cloudy the sun seems to be going straight through the clouds because it is bright as any other sunny day. It is somewhat warmer out than it was last visit as well. I'm hearing much more birds this time and insects from the last. Another thing I wasn't expecting was for the mass majority of the leaves are gone now. Last visit I had thought it would be a little longer till they started to fall, but there are already some bare trees. I was also able to get some cool close up shots of a wasps well, which I haven't been able to do much of in my past visits. 

 5:15 October 14 54ºF Cloudy Conditions  11 hours and 21 minutes of day For this visit things are pretty quite. I really only hear some cars in the distance and a very very faint sound of crickets or some sort of buzzing insects. The only bird I hear anymore is a few crows a little ways away. I suspect that there aren't many if any of summer birds left, most of them have surely began to migrate south. There is a slight wind but nothing compared to my last visit. The leaves have also changed quite a bit from my last visit as well. There were only a handful of new colors but now there are only a handful of the old green leaves. I expect that it will be similar for my next visit, but the one after that I think they will have began to fall. I'm curious as to when the summer birds do start to migrate, if it is earlier than now or later. Also the insects. I have never heard of insects migrating and I know that they don't. So I'm curious as to why we hear them less, if they ha...

 7:30 September 28  51º F Windy Conditions  12 hours and and 9 minutes  The wind has picked up quite a bit from the last visit. The crickets have died down a ways as well. This very well could be due to the increase of the wind, but also the colder weather. I can still hear the leaves in the wind just as much as the last visit, they have not began to fall yet.
