Field Study #4

Field Study Visit 4
October 27 2017
6:40 PM
10:32 hours of sunlight today
Temperature- 42 degrees

Today when I went out to my field study location, it was super dark. The sun was still out, but it was kinda rainy and super cloudy. There were lots and lots of ducks out on the water, and the one swan was still there also. I couldn't see the bottom of the water, it was super dark and cloudy. There also wasn't much algae on the surface of the water that I could hear. It was super noisy, because of the ducks and swans and also because the Zeeland Bird Bowl #2 was going on (Chix vs. Dux football game). The water didn't really seem any higher after all of the rain that we have had lately. The leaves on the trees are changing colors and falling.

Field Study #3

I went back to my field study location last night, October 10 at 6:45 PM. There was a battle of the bands at Zeeland Stadium, so that made the pond super noisy. Tonight the water was clearer and I could see some of the algae and weeds from the bridge. It looked basically the same as the last couple times I went, but the leaves were starting to change color and fall. There wasn't much algae on the surface of the water this time. There was one swan, and I don't think it really liked us being there, because as soon as we got to the bride it quickly swam over by us. I got a video of it swimming towards us. It was super windy and kinda chilly outside yesterday. It was 68 degrees yesterday and there was 12:53 hours of sunlight.
