The first day of starting my project and visiting my site was a very stormy and rainy one. The weather was slightly humid and cloudy. The water level in the stream was very high and very rapid from the rain so I was not able to observe the stream in its normal state. In my past knowledge, there is a wide variety of life within the stream bed. Macro-invertebrates such stoneflies, mayflies, other larvae, frogs, and crayfish have been spotted. The still remains leaves on the trees are bogged down with water. No signs of large mammals have been seen yet.
