Site 1:
Location: small field
This site was a rather small field with a small creek running though it, surrounded by a grove of small trees that developed into the woods. I had noticed that some of the smaller trees in this grove, along with the low-lying plants, were bent at odd angles; a clear indication of something heavy, such as a deer, had passed through the area.
Site 2:
Location: tree somewhere in the woods.
At this location, a large hole could clearly be seen in the side of tree, a sign of a woodpecker searching for food or carving out a nest.
Site 3:
Location: large fallen tree and a small standing tree
This site had a fallen tree that had fungus on it in addition to a large woodpecker hole. At this site, there was also another tree that had several smaller woodpecker holes in it.
Site 4:
Location:small fallen trees
At this site there were two different small fallen trees, both of which had broken acorn shells on them, a clear sign of a squirrel presence in the area.
Site One
Location: pond
At this site, several flocks of both geese as well as ducks were able to be seen from the shore of the pond. In addition, the water in the pond was clear with a light green tint to it, and it was calm and still. On the shore itself, animal tracks could be seen in the soil, one of which could not be identified.
Site Two
Location: Woods
At this location, there was a vernal pool coming from underneath a tree. In the vernal pool, there was algae growing across the bottom, covering everything. There was also a small living organism swimming in the water.
In the trees above the vernal pool, a bird was seen moving around before if flew off.
Sit Three
Location: Fallen Tree
At this location, several birds could be heard rustling in the trees above, scrounging for food.
Site #1
Saw signs of an animal presence, including holes in the soil as well as other pieces of soil that had been moved around.
Site #2
Saw signs of a deer presence as well; tracks in the ground and bites on the top of a small tree.
Site #3
Saw signs of a fungi presence due to a ring inside of which the grass does not grow.
