Final 6 Pictures

Study #6

Date: November 28, 2016

Time: 4:35 PM

Weather: Rain

Temperature: 48 Degrees F

Length of Day: 7:52 AM (Sunrise) - 5:12 PM (Sunset)

Organisms Present:

      Trees: The trees are the only remaining form of life that I could find in my study this time around. With only one or two leaves still hanging from their branches, the trees have been altered in such a way over the course of the last couple of months. 
      Fish Update: Once again, the fish could not be found. Could the impending rain have something to do with this?
      Leaves: Plenty of dead and dying leaves were scattered across the ground and into the river. 

   

Study #5

Date: November 11, 2016

Time: 5:34 PM

Weather: Overcast

Temperature: 47 Degrees F

Length of Day: 7:32 AM (Sunrise) - 5:25 PM (Sunset)

Organisms Present:

      Trees - The trees have changed drastically since my last visit. Almost no leaves remain and they are quite barren. What leaves were left were very colorful in the shades of orange red and yellow. 

      Small Plants - There are still some small plants near the river, but they appear to be fading as many of their leaves are wilting and turning brown. 

      Fish Update - No fish could be found during this study. I'm hoping they will turn up for the last study, but it is doubtful they will be seen since the leaves have covered a lot of the water near the shores. 

Study #4

Date: October 28, 2016
Time: 5:10 PM
Weather: Partly Cloudy w/ no Wind
Temperature: 56 Degrees F
Length of Day: 8:14 AM (Sunrise) - 6:42 PM (Sunset)
Organisms Present:
        Trees - Changes in both the amount of leaves and the color of the leaves since last time I was at my study spot. Although, I was surprised to find as many leaves on the trees as there were because many other areas around town have trees with minimum leaves.
        Moss - The moss looked pretty similar to the last time I visited, the only difference was that it looked a little more brown this time as seen in the picture.
        Small Fish - These guys were certainly a surprise. I'd only seen fish on my first study before this one, and when I did there was not many of them. This time however, there seemed 3-4 times as many as before. Sadly they were really difficult to see in pictures so I was unable to document them.
