Site #1

For our second day out in the field we went behind the school down to the pond. While out at the pond we saw close to 30 geese. Also as you can see in the picture we saw vehciles, garage, trees, leaves and deer tracks beside the pond where we were standing. We could hear the geese and the water coming up to the shore. As we heard that the wind was blowing through the trees and made them rock back and forth. As we stood next to the pond you could feel the cold wind blowing and it was winter outside.

Site #2

For our site we went down besise the pond at the creek. It was still very cold, it was less wind, and it was still winter. We heard the water going down the stream. As a bird flew by chirping we could hear the wind blowing through the trees still. While all of this was going on we saw a crawfish going up stream. after everyone came to look he got scared and hide under the the leaves in the creek Plus we were in the woods so we were surrounded by trees.

Site #3

As we traveled down the the creek a little longer. Our teacher spotted a Vernea pool. it a mini pond that frogs and other creature lay there eggs in. They lay there eggs there because fish don't live in it so the frogs don't have to worry about their eggs. We were surrounded by trees and dead leaves. We heard the wind and the water going down the stream. It was still cold, with a mid wind chill, and it was winter.

Site #4

For our final site of the day we were still back in the woods but not as far as usual. We walked the trail then stopped next to a huge log. The teacher spotted out a White Breasted Nuthatch on a pine tree. The class took pictures and then sat down for a rest as we observed. We heard the wind blow through the trees the pick up leaves as the we heard the water go down the stream. We saw a log, trees, creek, leaves and the White Breasted Nuthatch. It was still winter outside and the wind was blowing pretty heavy.
