Changes - Field Study #3

 Again there weren't many changes. The grass was still green, and the majority of the plants that had flowers at Field Study 2, still had flowers. As noted before I noticed that there were a lot less bird and cricket noises. 

The leaves on the trees have gotten brighter and the number of colored leaves are growing, but not very quickly.






The biggest change I noticed was that most of the plants I expected to be dried up last trip were finally dried up. The most surprising to me being the Pokeweed.


The Pokeweed has started to dry up and loose its berries. This makes me wonder what part of the plant is perennial, for some reason I expected the plant to remain untouched by the changing of seasons. 


It's also harder to tell but it seems like the pokeweed has remained the same height

Field Study #4

 For this field study I decided to visit at night on October 30, 2021.  I was there from 8:50-9:00. It was 55 degrees with no rain, almost no rain, and almost no stars visible.  Sunrise was at 8:15 am and sunset was at 6:39 pm.  I noticed many different things on this visit because it was night.  The most noticeable difference was the absence of birds. There was no chirping or flapping. The area was mostly silent except for a few frogs croaking and a slight breeze.  I believe this is in part because of the time but also because I had traveled by quad, and that probably scared off any nocturnal critters.  I also noticed how much more obvious car sounds were, they were much louder because everything else was still. There was also the smell of smoke in the air because people had been burning leaves in the neighborhood, and the smell of exhaust because of the quad.

Field Study #5 changes and notices

Image
The main thing I noticed this trip was the snow. The coming of the snow changed almost everything except for the basic structure of my location. Almost all the trees (except for the pines) had lost their leaves and almost all color had been lost, the grass wasn't green and the plants either brown or white     The only non-pine leaves that were green were a few pricker leaves which was very surprising to me There were also a lot of snow tracks, along with the sound of snow falling both from the sky and from the trees around me
