FIELD STUDY 10/23/2022


9/25
 Last weekend I was able to visit my field study location. This was the most change I have seen in between visits. However, this also may be because I visited at night last time and was unable to see leaf colors. However, from my last day visit(9/25) the leaves have changed quite a lot. Here is a comparison between 9/25 and 10/23.
 
10/23

    As you can see, there has been a lot of leaves falling, and on earlier visits the primary color of the site has been green, on my most recent visit I would describe it as yellow.

    When I went, it was very nice outside, 77 degrees and sunny. There was some consistent wind and gusts, as you will be able to see on my sound map below. The day length was 10 hours and 41 minutes, and when I went there the sun was approximately 2/3s across the sky. An important factor about next visit is it will be post-daylight savings time, meaning that information about the sun will have changed significantly.

When I was there, I also recorded a sound map, showing what sounds I found where.


    I also sketched the plant I have been photographing every visit.

FIELD STUDY 10/12/2022

     On Wednesday, October 12, I got to visit my field location at night. Though it was hard to see some parts of it, it was very interesting to see what it looked like when it was dark out. I apologize because though I used flash to take the pictures, they still are pretty dark.           When I went to the site it was around 9:00 PM. It was approximately 49 degrees Fahrenheit, with little to no wind. It had rained quite a lot earlier that day, so the ground was very moist, especially near the pond.       Pond     Some interesting changes had happened since my last visit, which was on September 25. For one, as seen in the picture above, lots of leaves have fallen since my last visit, and there is an overall decrease in the greenery there. The trees above the pond still have some leaves on them, but I couldn't tell exact details, because all I could see was the shadow. The location I have selected to ph...

THE EPIC FIELD STUDY FINALE

Image
 On November 22, I journeyed to the field study site for the final time. When I walked in, I remembered what it was like when it was 70º and sunny.     At least on Nov. 22 it wasn't that bad. A lot of snow had come during the weekend, but, it warmed up enough that the snow began melting. I went there around 1:45 PM, and during my visit, the temperature peaked for the day, at 45 degrees. It stayed above freezing for most of the afternoon, and there was not an ounce of precipitation that day. The wind was 0 MPH, with the occasional gust of 11 MPH. The day length was 9 hours and 28 minutes, so we can see the days are getting shorter since September.     There was snow on the ground, but it was rapidly melting. When I went, the ground was mostly white with snow but there were signs showing melting. For example, the pond was very much iced over, but there was a sheet of water on the top, showing that it is melting. Here are some pictures of the final study:
