Bio Field Study

 

Fifth Visit 3 pm, Thursday, November 20, 2025   Climate Conditions: Cloudy Outside Temperature: 47°F  Length of Day from Sunrise to Sunset: 7:44 AM - 5:17 PM   (9 hours, 33 minutes) Organisms Present: Squirrels on the ground eating nuts, birds feeding at the bird feeder.  Heard a lot of birds chirping and squirrels scurrying.  Changes since last visit: Deer have been pretty consistent. Shorter day duration, visited different time of day, different time of the week than usual, and it was a different temperature (cooler). Construction sounds are pretty much gone, they're working on the interior.  Leaves on the maple and oak trees were either on the ground or very yellow orange and red. Many more leaves on the ground since last visit. 

  Fourth Visit 1-2 pm, Sunday, October 26, 2025   Climate Conditions: Sunny  Outside Temperature: 53°F  Length of Day from Sunrise to Sunset: 8:13AM-6:45PM, 10 hrs 32m  Organisms Present: Birds eating seed and suet, squirrels on the ground and eating seed, deer walking in the back of my area Heard (and saw) chickadees and squirrels Saw a deer while I was there.  Changes since last visit: Deer have been a bit more frequent. Shorter day duration, visited different time of day, different temperature. Construction sounds are about the same as last visit.  A deer was present while I was there, which was cool! He had very small antlers, just one spike. 

Third Visit 4 pm, Sunday, October 12, 2025   Climate Conditions: Sunny  Outside Temperature: 65°F  Length of Day from Sunrise to Sunset: 7:56AM-7:06PM, 11 hrs 10m Organisms Present: Birds eating seed and suet, black and grey squirrels climbing trees and eating seed, chipmunks eating seed on ground.  Heard Chickadees and squirrels.  Changes since last visit: Deer have been a bit more frequent. Shorter day duration, visited different time of day, different weather and temperature. A bit cooler on average than last time temperature-wise. Construction sounds are significantly less than last visit, they moved more inside than outside construction. Probably why deer have increased. Coloration looks around the same in this area, if not a little less vibrant.   

I wanted to focus on fur direction
