Observation Number Two

Observation Site Four
 Coming up on the pond we finally felt some sunlight with a slight breeze. We could hear the geese in the distance and the running water. I tried to get a good picture but the geese were far off. Trust me they were very gorgeous and graceful in the water.
Heading back up to the school Autumn Wood and I Spotted DEER TRACKS! It was very exciting. their were other tracks from smaller deer but i decided to take a picture of the bigger tracks. I'd like to of seen the deer but tracks are fun enough to see :)

Observation Number Two

Observation Site Three
I felt the cold air, it was very windy that day. I heard running water and leaves then I finally found some round fungi on a small branch.

When we were getting ready to leave i noticed all this fungi on a really big fallen tree. It looked like scales on a Dino's back! just on a treee... :)

Observation Number Two

Observation Site Two
I walked over to the creek and heard the running water feeling the thorns from briers when i noticed holes in the side of the creek bank. maybe a fox was living there and was just out for food when he heard us coming.

Farther down the creek i noticed these tracks. They didn't look like the raccoon track from my previous location. They had bigger claws like a fox or dog.
Right before we left i noticed this hugeee piece of fungi on a log.

Observation Number Two

Observation Site One
 When we first arrived to our first location our teacher sat down on a tree. When we took a closer look we determined that some sort of insect had eaten or dug into the tree. It felt very cold and I heard trees and leaves in the wind.
 On the way back to the group Autumn Wood and I found where a tree had fallen over it looked like a small animal had started digging a hole into the loose dirt.
While leaving Site One we noticed POOOPPP! We got SO excited :) It was prob from a deer or a rabbit :)

Observation Number One

Observation Site Four
While me and Sabrina were headed down to investigate nature Autumn Wood and Katelynn Took a picture of this pretty tree. It felt cold and i could hear leaves in the wind.
Autumn Wood took this picture of a hole in a nice size log. A little creature could curl up in that for winter and stay warm.
Sabrina and I finally found something on our adventure. :) In this tree was a nice little whole a small mammal could curl up in. I tried to get a good look in thee but I swore something moved in it so I ran away!

Observation Number One

Observation Site Three
I walked down to the creek hearing the running water, and the cold chill in the air. When I looked down I saw Raccoon tracks in a sandbar in the creek.
After spotting the tracks i noticed this Algae floating gracefully in the creek.
Heading back up to the class me and Autumn Wood noticed this burrow in the ground and thought it would be a nice place for a little mammal to crawl into.

Observation Number One

Site Two
 From our location we could see a small creek flowing from the pond beside us. We could feel a breeze and hear running water.
I spotted this tree and noticed the moss at the bottom. It had grown all the way around the base. It felt a little fuzzy.

Observation Site Number One

Site One
 We found this nest at a top of a very tall tree. We did not see any wildlife in it but we heard wildlife around us. Assuming the wildlife we heard lived in the nest.
 Sabrina, Autumn Wood, Katelynn, and I felt very cold during this observation. What we saw was worth the chill of the January air.
Katelynn was the first to spot this tree bark missing. She quickly ran over and took a picture. The tree where the bark was missing felt soft and damp.
