What’s New
Since my last visit there’s a couple changes I have noticed. The oil/pollutants that was gathering on the edge of the stream bed seems to have cleared up or washed away. There is still evidence of wildlife, some of the plants below the trees have been eaten away by either an insect or a small animal. I still haven’t actually seen any wildlife, but I know they must be there somewhere, I think me not seeing them might have something to do with me struggling to stay still and quite.The leaves are starting to fall of the trees and other small woody plants surrounding and inside my phenology site, showing that winter is on its way. The small brush plants and native grasses that were very tall and covering my phenology site at the beginning of this project are starting to die off for the winter.
Poem about my site!!
Where are the animals
They must be here
I see their markings
I sense they’re near
Yet I can’t find them
All I see
Are plants used as snacks
Below the trees
There’s a stream for drinking
Lots of habitat too
You must be here
Why can’t I see you
