    Good start with the field notes, too...for future ones include a little more about what you're seeing...where are they? how many? what are they doing? variety? etc. This will make it easier for making comparisons with future visits.

  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.

 10/28/2022 present climate conditions : partly cloudy, no wind temperature: 59 degrees humidity : 44% length of day : 10 hours 29 mIn organisms smelled, felt, heard, or seen, etc: On the way in I was able to hear a lot of leaves crunching below me as they had all ready fallen off the trees. 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...

 9/19/2022 7:46PM present climate conditions : calm, mostly cloudy, rained the past night. temperature: 71 degrees humidity : 71% length of day : 12 hours 20 mIn organisms smelled, felt, heard, or seen, etc: I was able to really feel the moss because it was still a little bit wet from the rain that we had the night before. there was also a lot of misquotes and other insects like gnats. 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.
