field notes:
Temp: 47º

Date 10/14/2024

Time: 7:15

Current Weather: Cloudy 

Length of Day: 11 Hours 

changes: The small creek was flowing very fast and the leaves are changing colors a ton between the last couple of visits. There were also a whole lot of leaves down the water fall was running like Laminar flow. Last time it was barely because of algae that was no longer there the amount of ducks and swans increased by a staggering rate it felt like they were everywhere. As well as the lesser amount of things that were rippling but there was more dead algae 

organisms felt, seen, heard: Wind was fast and made it feel a lot colder, the water was also colder. it smelled like dead algae when I was walking it smelled like a swamp, The ducks were flying over and they quacking very loudly.  and a couple of small animals were rustling around when I walked by.

    Good! Any patterns in the color change? Do you think you're experiencing fall turnover? Bonus if you discuss in your next visit post and link your source(s)

            field notes: Time: 6:45 PM Date: 9/28/24 Current weather: overcast/partly cloudy  Temperature: 74  Wind speed 11 MPH  Length of day: 11:50 Observations:   The Ducks and swans that were on the south side of the entrance to the place. The ducks we're still there but there was one less Swan than my last visit. It was also a lot darker out but it was around the same length of day there was also a lot more wildlife. Another thing that I noticed was the temperature of the small creek coming from the lake was a fair amount colder than the large creek which was a ton warmer.  Changes since last visit: O n the right side of the small Creek there was more dead shrubbery. Plus the man-made waterfall was clogged and more leaves and algae. As-well as the larger creek was murkier and flowing faster than last visit. Also some leaves were also beginning to change colors.
