Biology Field Study

Date: Nov 28, 2018 Time: 3:47 pm Climate Conditions: Snowy, slightly windy, cloudy Temperature: 29 degrees Length of Day: 9:19:00 Organisms smelt, felt, heard or seen: There was a fresh layer of snow throughout my field study area. It hasn't been cold enough for the stream to freeze over completely, but there was a small section where there was a little ice on the surface of the water. The water was quite a bit deeper than usual as well. Along with that, I noticed a lot of deer tracks in the snow as pictured above. All of the leaves on the trees are pretty much gone now and have been replaced with snow.  TRANSFORMATION PICTURES

Date: Nov 14, 2018 Time: 4:04 pm Climate Conditions: Very clear, sunny Temperature: 34 degrees Length of Day: 9:45:00 Organisms smelt, felt, heard or seen: I noticed that the leaves from the trees have mostly fallen, which is very normal at this time of year. There was also less activity than the past few times I've visited with animals such as squirrels and birds. I noticed that it was also very muddy and flooded, most likely due to the snow that came and melted this week. For my experiment, the water levels have risen slightly, and I am interested to see how the phosphorus levels are for this water sample. Along with that, the water is not very clear and everything looks more brown.
