Fifth visit 11/16

  Date/ time: 11/16 13:48


Present climate: Sunny, no wind

                                        





Temperature: 42F


Length of day: 9hr 42 minutes  


Organisms smelled, felt, heard or seen: There were barely any sounds but I did see a couple birds resting on tree branches. It is much easier to spot the birds now that the trees are not full of leaves and I observed quite a few more than I did on other visits. There were not a lot of sounds except that of leaves crunching under my feet and the stream flowing slightly. 

Changes noticed:  
The trees are a lot more bare compared to last time. More plants have gone beige and almost all the leaves on the ground are brown compared to last time where they ranged from yellow to red. What's left on certain trees are wilted and completely dry. There is a new plant with white fuzzy tips growing though I was unable to identify it.

Additional data:
There are approximately 13 days of precipitation on average for the month of November in Michigan and the humidity around this time was approximately 57%.

It had rained the day before so the ground was quite damp and muddy. More leaves have fallen to the ground since the last visit and the ground was completely covered. Despite that, lots of green leaves remain on trees but a significant portion of them are yellowed.   Changes noticed:   Yellow flowers observed in the first visit is completely withered, leaving only the dried up and brown stems with some fuzzy white things on the tip of the branches. Grass on the path that was green during the first visit is now brown. Fallen leaves that are further away from the dirt path are dried up.  More leaves are yellow. The air feels colder, sharper and drier. It is noticeably quieter than previous visits. More visible footprints or distu...
