EDD   Chart/Graph    11/26/2022 3:12 PM  present climate conditions : clear sky's little windy temperature: 51 degrees humidity : 44% length of day : 9 hours 22 mIn organisms smelled, felt, heard, or seen, etc: All of the snow was mostly gone when I went out this time so I herd the leaves crunching beneath my feet, there was also some leaves that where still on the trees so they where rattling in the wind. There was a lot of woodpeckers in the area that I was hearing and seeing. (couldn't get a picture) There was a lot of dry grass so that was all cracking as well as I walked. Finally as always there was a lot of birds that where chirping. Changes from last visit: There was really only one major change from last time and that was that all of the snow was mostly gone. As a result I was able to see a lot more of the deer tracks in the dirt vs just seeing them in the snow. Sketch

  11/13/2022 present climate conditions : Snowing, Cloudy temperature: 36 degrees humidity : 70% length of day : 9 hours 50 mIn organisms smelled, felt, heard, or seen, etc: It was snowing when I was out there so I felt the wet ness of the snow and herd it crunching under my feet as I walked out to my spot. I was also able to hear the squirrels and a woodpecker. About 15 min in there was a pack of coyotes that I herd. Finally I was able to see some deer off in the distance, as they came closer I was able to identify that one of them was a buck, and sadly they didn't come close enough for me to shoot them. changes from last visit: There was a lot of changes because it was snowing. Almost all of the leaves where off the trees and the ferns where all dead. There was a major change in the amount of noise in the woods because of how cold it was. Lastly a change was that the tree that had perviously fallen over the path had been moved to the side.

I also spotted a hoof print from a deer that had crossed the trail, there was a lot of gunshots from behind me from other small game hunters. I would occasionally hear a squirrel or the birds chirping, about half way through the study there was a plane that flew directly above me. i was feeling the acorns as they fell on me and the leaves as well.   Changes from the last Visit: From the last visit there was a few changes like there were more leaves that had fallen off of the trees, so i was able to see for a much longer distance than before. The ferns where also completely dead. There was occasionally a tree that still had its leaves but for the most part they where all ready all dead o...

 10/12/2022 present climate conditions : rainy, cloudy, not a lot of wind. temperature: 52 degrees humidity : 63% length of day : 11 hours 10 mIn organisms smelled, felt, heard, or seen, etc: I was able to hear a lot even through it was raining a little bit. I was able to year the birds chirping, squirrels, I felt the moss and was able to squeeze water out of it from the rain. when I walked in and accidentally broke a sassafras branch so I was able to small the sassafras. I felt the rain coming down and the moss, the tall wet grass from walking in, and the tree bark that i was leaning on. I was also able to see the clouds changing as the rain was beginning to stop and as the sun came out. Changes from the last Visit: From the last time that I was there you are really able to see the change in the color of the leaves as it begins to get colder, the grass is beginning to die and become brown and withered. The forrest is also beginning to get a lot less dense as the leaves begin to...

I was able to hear the crickets beginning to start to sing as it was getting closer to sun set, before that there was a lot of birds that where singing and the occasional chatter from the chipmunks and squirrels. changes noticed since the last visit : there wasn't a whole lot that was different from the last time that I was here, just a couple of minor things like a tree branch had fallen down on the path that I used to walk in and the ferns have begun to start to die as it creeps closer to winter time.
