Hannah Tait's Field Study

 Date: Saturday, October 29, 2022 Time: 3:00 pm  Weather Conditions: Clear skies and no wind  Temperature: 59 °   F Length of Day: 10 hours and 27 minutes Observations: Still some red wildflowers. I didn't see any animals, but there were deer footprints and what looked like a squirrel or racoon footprint. It was sunny and most of the leaves had fallen from the trees.  Changes Since Last Visit: About the same temperature but less cloudy and there were way more leaves on the ground. The water level of the pond was also a lot lower.

  Date: Wednesday, October 12, 2022 Time: 6:20 pm  Weather Conditions: Cloudy  Temperature: 55 °   F Length of Day: 11 hours and 14 minutes Observations: It was a little windy and it was wet out because it had just rained. There were a few more of the red wildflowers I saw last visit. I didn't see any animals besides geese flying by. Changes Since Last Visit: It was nearly the temperature and cloud coverage as last time. There were a lot more leaves on the ground and a lot of trees turned colors already. The pond also felt colder.
