November 28, 2018

Date: November 28, 2018
Time: 5:05 -- 5:40
Weather: Cloudy, light precipitation
Temperature: 27˚F
Temperature of the water: 32˚F
Length of Day: 9 hours, 19 minutes
Organism Observations: Since winter is now in full swing, there's just about no animals moving around. I was hoping to see some of the birds that live here year-round, but it was misting, and they were probably in their nests keeping warm. Most of the mammals have either moved away, or are taking it slow during the cold parts of the year.
Organism Photographs:
Tracks of small animals, the only sign of life I saw.
Other Observations: The snow has finally stuck, so now that most of the ground is covered, we have a sort of winter wonderland that reminds me of a Norman Rockwell canvas. It was near dark when I came to my field study, so the pictures, especially the panorama, were not nearly as high quality as usual. This, along with the lack of animals today, is to be expected, however, with the coming of winter and shortening of the days. Overall, I enjoyed the opportunity to participate in this semester-long project, and hope that further studies into biology will allow me to do something like this again someday.
Other Photographs:
