My 6th Visit November 30, 3:30pm Very Sunny Temperature: 47ºF Length of Day Sunrise: 7:54 AM Sunset: 5:11 PM Today is a nice day. It still isn't too cold. The water temperature has seemed to greatly decrease. It was also very sunny today. Today was a more quiet day. I did hear some cars passing on the road closest to my plot. I also heard a dog barking from farther away. Once again I saw some deer tracks next to the stream this was something that has stayed constant from the first time I went to my plot of land. There also were no leaves left on the trees anymore. They continued to get deeper on the ground. In addition to the extra leaves being on the ground there are also a lot more sticks and twigs that are on the ground. The water was moving A LOT slower today.

My 5th Visit November 14, 5:00 pm Cloudy  Temperature: 46ºF Length of Day Sunrise: 7:35 AM Sunset: 5:21 PM Outside has been very gloomy and dark today. There was hardly any sun! In my field study location today there quite a few changes. Almost all of the leaves have dropped off the trees. There is hardly any foliage left on the ground what is left is mainly dead. There is also a thick layer of leaves covering the ground. Not only this but in the stream there are a lot of leaves at the bottom and many being pushed around throughout the water. There weren't any bird sounds that I could hear today. It was very quiet and still. The only noises I could hear was the water and a little bit of wind. I also didn't see any squirrels or really any other living creatures. Lots of brown and leaves.
