Field Study #2



                                                             - Date: Sunday September 27 

-Time 12:45 PM

- Climate Conditions: Sunny, Little breeze

-Temperature Outside: 65 F Degrees

- Water temperature in River: 57 Degrees

- Length of Day: 11 Hours and 58 Mins



The first thing I noticed was that some leaves were starting to change color. Most of the trees were still green, but there was few leaves that were definitely changing. The second thing I noticed was that there was lots of leaving falling from the trees, especially above the river. A small gust of wind would come by and would make even more leaves fall. 

When I looked closely into the river, I could see tiny little particles floating in the water. I wondered if it had to do anything with dirt and sediment. I noticed that the water was flowing to the west pretty good and wondered if the river loops back to Lake Macatawa. 

I didn't see very many fish or frogs anywhere. Every once in a while a bug or fly would land on the rocks or on the mud nearby. 

A few things I could smell was the mud, natural earth and plants. The closer I got to the mud the stronger
 it got. 

 I heard multiple different kinds of birds but didn't really see any. I also heard cars from the nearby road. 

There was a handful of things that changed including water levels that dropped quite a bit and lots more plants the grew taller. In the picture that I use every time you can see that the plant in the center of the screen grew lots more leaves.

Field Study #3

-Date: Oct 11 -Time: 2 pm - Climate Conditions: Sunny, light breeze -Temperature Outside: 70° F - Water temperature in River: 61° F - Length of Day: 11 hours 15 mins One thing I observed this time is that the leaves are definitely changing color and starting to fall. In the picture below you can see that the leaves are turning yellow.  Another thing I observed that you can see is the water level is very similar to last time. I took the temperature it was slightly warmer than last field study. Which was kinda surprising since the days are starting to get a little cooler and the nights too. A question I have is why the water is warmer this time then last time when the temperature were quiet different. Is it because the water is flowing slower? Lastly I noticed that the river was slightly muddy and I wondered if it was from the leaves.   Somewhere where I find awe is in the leaves. Fall is one of my favorite times of year and I think its so cool how they can change color....
