Observation 4

Observation 4

Today is the 13th of May, and it is 7:21 at night. It is sunny out and there is no wind. In the last two days there has been very little change on the aspen tree, but the willows are turning greener and greener every day. There still aren’t any leaves on the willows, although at this time last year, the bushes were full of leaves. I saw a fox today, and I think it was hunting. At one point I saw a small mouse or rat run out from under a tree, probably the fox’s prey. I think that there is very little interspecific competition between the foxes here, because there are so few. They also have very little intraspecific competition, because there are few predators their sizes in my little observation area.
