Observation 2
May 7, 2008
This morning it appears that it rained a little bit, and about five minutes into my observation it started raining again. The temperature was 43 degrees at 5:30 and the ground without snow was soggy. The snow was receding, but there were still some patches of snow under the big pine trees. Some of the grass was starting to shoot up with this new rain and the brown is slowly disappearing from the ground. The lone aspen tree has also started to get some fuzzy buds that look slightly like a long caterpillar. I saw a fox today and it was red, unlike the gray one two days ago. There must be at least two foxes and I believe there are more. Other life is minimal, occasionally a bird will chirp, but for the most part they stay hidden. I looked at the robins nest though and they appear to be adding to it constantly, it already appears bigger and stronger.

Great observations, especially using your prior knowledge and experience with the two robins using your area to build nests. In addition, you specifically identified many different species. Begin to think about how they interact with one another in this community, and how this community can support this vast amount of life!
