Field Study #4

Image
On Saturday October 31, at 1:07pm, it was roughly 60 degrees out and it was a crisp temperature and cloudy. The length of day was approximately 10 hours and 21 minutes. It smelled like changing seasons. There was a strong smell of something like manure. I am pretty sure it is because to the west of my lot there is a pig farm and to the north, a turkey farm. I could also smell smoke coming from my neighbors to the south of my lot. The grass was dry and mostly dead. It was pokey and still tall. When I was out there I could hear birds and insects that were chirping. I could also hear the leaves falling, but beyond that there wasn't a whole lot of noise that day.  Same Location Photo Trees Some Bunny Poop Until yesterday there was no proof of any bunnies until I found it in the path. There were actually 2 different piles that i could see. They were fairly close to each other. I saw the bunny when i startled it on my way out of the lot. The paths from the deer are still there. I saw a d...

  On Sunday October 11, at 6:45pm, it was roughly 66 degrees out and it was a neutral temperature and sunny. The length of day was approximately 11 hours and 47 minutes. It smelled like fall. there was a hint of horse manure but overall just smelt like a new season. The grass was dryer and stiff. It was pokey and still pretty tall. When I was out there I could see and hear 5-7 first responder vehicles. As far as nature sounds heard 2 birds in the tree and a few insects. Same Location Photo A big tree Other Photos I saw some organisms such as a crane fly, specifically the ferruginous tiger crane fly. I saw maybe around a dozen and all of the flying things in the grassy area, just like last time, but they looked smaller.  (not my photo) I saw many different types of trees and bushes. Some common colors I noticed were brown, white,  orange, red, and yellow.    You can see the top of tree turn red You can see that the paths that the deer made are still here there wa...

The length of day was approximately 11 hours and 58 minutes. It smelled fresh and it had clear/clean air.

Field Study Visit #1

Today is September 8, 2026. Today was sunny and very humid. It was 79 degrees and the day length was 12 hours and 49 minutes.  I dew a Birds eye view of where I will be observing throughout that next couple months. My measurements were 20m by 50m as shown in my sound map. It was a very quiet afternoon that was filled with sounds of nature.  I saw many organisms such as poison ivy, monarch butterflies and tons of grass hoppers.  Other plants I saw were some vey tall dandelion and some queen annes lace.  This is the spot where you will see time change over the next couple weeks.
