 November 9 10:42am  clear weather slight breeze 44f 9hours 57minute feeling slightly more chilly than usual I’ve observed the leaves have been changing They have pretty much all fallen off their trees, the pattern in the color changes are a light yellow, then to a darker orange to a brownish color, wildlife has definitely calmed down. I see a white duck as I type this, but that is the only wildlife I can see with my eye. Currently the waterline seems to receded in another 4 inches the waters shore is filled with leaves. While I walked the pond I found some trees split in half so I took some shoots from a young tree and tied them around the split trees using my knowledge of tying with branches. 

  October 24 9:00am  clear weather but very cold  Temperature: 43f Length of Day: 10 hours 38 minutes Unlike my past couple of visits, I have not seen as many fish or wildlife in general. I am hearing the occasional chirping of birds but no longer am I hearing buzzing of bugs, I have seen a squirrel climbing up a tree. The waterline seems to have stopped receiving there’s a weird mist moving across the water. There’s also some frost developing and some Pine needles on the ground. The leaves are yellowing, and as I voice type this, I can see a flock of birds flying in the air squawking. I also stepped in some black muck of dead stuff. Pictures below!!!

 October 15 11:30 Clear Weather VERY windy Temperature:  56f Day length 11hours 11minutes Unlike my past couple of visits, I have not seen as many fish or wildlife in general. I have heard the occasional tripping of a bird and buzzing of some bugs, but have not seen any large wildlife. I think the fish are going deeper and further into the waters and that may be why I’m not seeing them. The waterline has receded. I feel about another 6 inches. As I voice typed this into my phone I also watch a tree shed some leaves. The colors are definitely changing, but we are in the early stages of that. I will show a picture of a tree that is changing right in front of my eyes. I was still able to cast out far enough to snag some bass, 3 to be exact. All fish were only slightly harmed by a hook. They were returned as safely as possible into the water after they were caught. I was surprised to catch so many young bass.

  september 28 10:44am   clear weather slightly windy 67 degrees Fahrenheit  Day length 11 hours 51 minutes  Observations: I saw a group of 10 smallmouth bass swimming together. I have noticed 2 major changes from my last visit. First is that one of the trees at the bank of the pond has shed many of its leaves. Second I have noticed that the water line has receded about 2 or 3 feet. The recession of the waterline may be due to a pond that is being built near to the pond I am at.

I went to my area of nature at 11:00am on September 1. The weather conditions were clear with a little bit of wind and it was 71 degrees Fahrenheit. The day was 13 hours and 8 minutes long. I saw a caterpillar on my walk and I also saw a dog named Winston.  I also heard many birds in the trees squawking and chirping. A picture of the caterpillar is below along with a video and map of my area. Hit read more in the bottom right to see everything. Caterpillar in a hole with a leaf Video of my nature area
