Field Study #1 9/7/26 Same spot photo This picture shows how low the creek is. The creek is barley flowing which is surprising with the amount of rain we have gotten  These pictures show the animals that have been through the area and use creek. The top picture is deer tracks and the bottom is raccoon tracks.  Cool spider web made in dead sticks on the bank.  Field Notes Date - 9/7/26 Time - 4:15 Temp - 78° Climate - Sunny with a light breeze Length of day - 12 hours 52 minutes  Organisms seen or heard - I saw a green heron, a frog and a spider.  Speed of water - Very slow Other observations - The leaves are still pretty much fully green and have not changed yet. The banks of the creek is slowly eroding over time. It will probably be eroded more the next time I go. I did not see any deer even though I usually do.

I wonder what caused this?  I noticed lots of deer and raccoon tracks once again.  A heavily used deer trail I noticed dead leaves on this branch which means the leaves are starting to fall and fall is coming.   Leaves are starting to change color slightly. I sketched a fern and a small tree. They stood out to me because the fern looks ...
