Jordan's Field Study

  Monday October 31 9:42 AM Field of day- 8:02-6:38 cloudy/rainy/ 58* F weren't birds today Tracks still- due to deer found in exact spot as tracks were seen! No Ducks/fish or frogs Clear patch of water was more inland where at first that's the spot with most algae. Algae went to back of pond Mud was very soggy, lots of wet spots Water isn't deep I found out Questions for next time? Will the algae be gone by next visit? Will leaves cover pond

  Thursday October 13 3:06 PM cloudy/rainy/windy 51* F weren't birds today Tracks still No Ducks Clear patch of water grew nearly among the entirety of the pond. Algae hardening/disappearing due to cold There was fish that jumped in the clear patch of water No frogs seen Mud was very soggy, it was hard for me to go on the edge of the water as my shoes would sink in Questions for next time? Will the algae be completely gone by next visit? Can u identify what fish are living in the pond?

  Friday September 30, 9:30 AM Sunny, 46* F Birds all around in trees surrounding pond Tracks of some sort, maybe deer Ducks were swimming, but then got spooked when they heard me Clear patch of water, and algae seems like its hardening due to cold A new tree branch fell into pond since last time Frogs weren't coming up in the water, where as last time they would chronically Weeds surrounding pond got longer Mud was wet therefore made my shoes sink in Questions for Next Time: Is the water clearing up more or less? due to the cold, see if you can find any frogs Check for increase or decrease of tracks along pond side
