Day 5 site #1, #2, #3, #4

For our first site of the day we left the high school and went around back. we walked right into the woods on the trail and that was our first site. It was a four way trail, if you went straight it would lead you to the pond. If you went left or right it took you back in the woods. Behind us was the high school that we came from. If you stood still you could hear the cars passing by on the road, the wind blowing and rocking the trees back and forth, and leave blowing across the ground. We seen big rocks, a concrete bridge, a lot of pine trees and ferns, and a lot of dead leaves on the ground. The temperature was nice outside the temperature was about 75 degrees and it was a strong wind. Enough wind to blow my hair all around.

Our second site we went down beside the pond and down the hill. When we got to the bottom of the hill and crossed the creek. We walked down the creek for awhile then got on to the trail. Then we broke off the trail to the pond again this was our second site. While we were doing our observation we could see the back of a blue and white house. We seen baby craw fish, frogs, and dragonfly larva all in the creek we were at. Their were still dead leaves everywhere and sticks that had broken off from other trees. You could hear dogs barking up at the house, the scuffling of leaves as people walked on them, and a light wind that blow through the trees enough to make a whistling noise. It was still fairly warm at our second site with a light wind and if you were in the sun it got hotter than it really was.

For the third site we were kind of running out of time so we rushed towards the school. We walked the trail tell we were getting close to the pond. Then when we got about twenty meters from the pond we stopped for our third observation. It wasn't that loud at our third site all you could really hear was scuffling of leaves when people walked and the sound of the water going down the creek. As soon as we stopped some one spotted a frog in the creek. We also saw sticks, rocks, logs, trees, and dead leaves. Their was a very light wind, the sun was beaming down on us, and it seemed like it got hotter outside.

On our forth and final site we walked up the trail tell we got to the pond. We walked along the side of the pond tell we got to the end. That where we started our final observations. As we walked in front of the pond you could see geese and ducks swim on top the pond. The pond was very open like a field. Their was a bus garage with a lot of buses on top of the hill. The pond was surrounded by trees and had a dock that went about 10 meters out in to the pond. It was pretty hot because the sun was beaming down which made it feel 10 more degrees hotter that it was, and there was a light wind but not enough to pick up your hair. You could hear a crow in the woods crowing, the wind blow through the trees to make a whistling noise, and the waves comes up on shore.

Site #1

We went down the hill beside the bus garage for our first site. All i heard was talking and people stepping on leaves making a scruffling noise. The bus garage was right above us at the top of the hill. Their was a creek that went under the road we were standing on. I saw a car passing by as I looked through the fence and the woods and saw trees and leaves on the ground. While we were taking these observations it was winter season, chilly, and it was a light breeze.

Site #2

When we got done with our first site we walked up the hill beside the bus garage. Down the path towards our next site. As we walked down the trail we spotted a woodpecker holes on a tree. Plus their was saw dust on the ground below the holes. But that was just part one of the site. We went down a little further and their were termite holes in the tree. But the hearing and feel were the same thing. You could the wind blow between the trees and the leaves blow across the ground. As we were making our observations we seen trees, leaves, and the trail. It was still chilly with no breeze.

Site #3

We went down the path a for awhile tell we got to a log with another woodpecker hole in it. It was a dead log that looked like it has been on the ground for a couple of years. It wasn't on the trail but it was about 10 meters off to the side. There was also fungus on the log, trees, leaves, and briers. The temperature was cool with a small breeze. I heard tuffling of leaves and people talking.

Site #4

We got done with our third sight and walked down the path for a little longer. We spotted out our first sign of life. It was eaten accorns that a squirrel must have ate. Their was also trees, leaves and half way through our observation a crow flew above us crowing. It was a light breeze, cool temperature, and the ground was wet. We heard the crow crowing, scruffling of leaves, and the wind blowing.
