Observation 6
Today is the 23rd of May and I am at my observation area this morning. It is 42 degrees out and sunny. The time is 7:45 in the morning and the soil conditions are moist from the rain over the past few days. This is the first day in the last three days that it has stopped raining or snowing. The rain has had a very profound effect on the ecosystem and its populations. There has been a lot of growth on all the trees and the willows have budded and are turning green. The fauna has also been affected by the wet weather. I have been seeing more animals in the clearings, and I believe this is due to the wetness of the trees. Just yesterday I saw a fox and a moose within seconds of each other. The moose was feeding on all the newly grown willows. I am guessing that I will start to see more and more animals.

Good general observations as well as incorporating information from you previous knowledge of the area. Be sure to connect what you see to ecological terms covered in class to increase the depth of your observations.
