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.
