Field Study #3

Image
  Same Spot photo Creek is still very low. Maybe the lowest it's been. Chipmunk on a dead log with food in its mouth. Wonder what it was eating? This branch keeps getting lower every time.  More deer tracks Leaves are changing at the top of trees but not in the bottom. Blue heron or turkey tracks. First time seeing that.  Lots of fallen leaves in the creek bed Field Notes Date - 10/11/26 Time - 12:42 Temp - 69° Climate - Partly cloudy. There is not much wind. 5mph breeze. Length of day - 11 hours 17 minutes  Organisms seen or heard - I saw a chipmunk, and a squirrel. I heard a something jump into the water and I also heard birds. Speed of water - Very slow, barely moving  More observations - The leaves are really beginning to change on the top of trees, but in the bottom it is still pretty green. There are a lot of fallen leaves in the creek. The creek has only gotten slower with less water. The deer trail is still being used a ton.
