Field study 6

I made my final visit to my field study on November 30. The temperature outside was 40 degrees. The lake temperature was 41 degrees. The time was 3:30. It was cloudy all day and looked like it might rain, but there was no precipitation all day. the wind is blowing at 12 miles per hour. The day was 9 hours and 16 minutes long. There were some ducks in the pond, and no leaves on the trees at all, and most of the aquatic plants were dead. I saw deer and rabbit poop on my walk in. My six pictures from the same spot are in order oldest to newest.

I made my fifth visit to my field study location on November 15. The time was 3:15. The air temperature was fifty degrees. The water temperature was forty two degrees. The only wild life I noticed, were deer tracks and about a dozen ducks that scattered right when I showed up. The weeds and trees appeared entirely dead. The water level was very low, this trend continued through all of lake Macatawa. The time of day was nine hours and forty eight minutes. It was very foggy the whole day, clouds cover the whole sky.

The water temperature was 52 degrees. The water level decreased 2-3 inches since my last visit. All of the trees above my swamp have lost their leaves. The bushes around the water have all become brown and dead. The length of day was nine hours and forty six minutes

I made my third visit to my field study location on October 17. When I made my visit the air temperature was 54 degrees Fahrenheit. It was sprinkling lightly. The water temperature was 44 degrees. The time was 2:30. The biggest difference since my last field study was the color changes. The weeds on the side of the swamp seemed to have mostly died out, and the trees had begun to change color and lose their leaves. There was 10 and a hald hours of daylight on October 17. The water depth decreased about two to three inches since my last visit.

I made my second visit to my field study location on September 28. When I made my visit the air temperature was 65 degrees Fahrenheit, it had been raining for most of the day. The water temperature was much colder, at 49 degrees. The time was 5:47. Not much of the plant life changed since my last visit, however, the frogs seems to disappear, and the tall grasses were a darker green and slightly taller. The length of day was eleven hours and fifty one minutes. The biggest difference in my observations was that the water depth seemed to increase by seven to eight inches, and the density of the mud went down, causing me to sink to my calves in muck.

I made my first visit to my marsh for my field study on September 11. The air temperature was 73 degrees Fahrenheit and stayed dry and slightly humid all day long. The water temperature was 59 degrees. I made by visit at 7:36 and the length of the day was twelve hours and 34 minutes Some of the things I observed were many types of algae, frogs, duckweed, cattails, and lily pads. I noticed that the bottom of my swamp was very mucky, and everything sunk into the muck.
