My time in my location started with me observing a woodpecker across the trail, along with hearing Hairy Woodpeckers in the distance.
For a while I sat in the area listening to the woodpeckers move about through the trees. I then drew a diagram of my project area. I assume that there is likely a woodpecker nest near my site due to how often I see/hear them.
I tried to show that my project area is down a hill off the trail, with a large fallen tree and that tree’s stump in the center of it. I tried to show that the ground was covered with leaves as all of the deciduous trees in my project area have lost their leaves, I don’t think that was portrayed very well however.
It was a surprise to see that the deciduous trees have lost their leaves as 2 weeks ago, when I last visited my location, many of the trees still had leaves, as seen below.
