Visit #4- October 27

 Date: October 27, 2026

Time Visited: 4:22pm-4:27pm

Present Climate Condition: Partially sunny/ cloudy

Temperature: High of 63, low of 48 degrees Farenheit. It was 59 degrees Farenheit at the time I visited.

Length of Day: 8:12am sunrise, 6:44pm sunset. Last light 7:13pm.  

Organisms smelled: earthy smell of leaves on the ground, fresh air

Organisms felt: Red leaf, green plant, fuzzy green moss, tall grass. The leaves were all very dry and rough feeling. 

Organisms seen: Bare branches of trees, pine needles, bright green moss, leaf with white spots, little white flowers, tall grass, flies, and a variety of different colored leaves- yellow, orange, brown, and green. 

Changes noticed since last visit: The field is even more dry and not looking very lively. There are leaves everywhere covering the ground. The trees are in full color. Very few trees are still green, and some have already lost their leaves. I also noticed quite a few pine needles dried up on the ground which I hadn't seen before. Crickets are still chirping but not as much as before. 

Overall Impression: It was so beautiful. The trees were glowing in the sun. It was a little cooler temperature but still nice to be outside.

I heard crickets chirping continuously in the field, I heard birds chirping several times in the trees on the upper-right side of my plot, and ...
