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.

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.
