Field study visit #6: November 28 (final visit)
Date and time: November 28, 5:06 PM Weather: partly cloudy skies throughout the day with crisp cold air, a very nice day. Air temperature: 41 degrees Length of day: 9 hours and 21 minutes, Sunrise - 7:52 A.M. Sunset - 5:13 P.M. Observations: most of the plants are drooping and most of the leaves have fallen off of them. There were ducks down in the pond that had frozen over last week which shows that the water has been pretty cold and the ducks are able to be comfortable still. The grass is turning yellow and sort of dying ever since the snow last week and the snow may have cause the tall grass around the wetlands to lay down.

The vegetation has decreased a lot over the past few months but what is surprising to me is that many of the little plants around and on the ground were still fully green and thriving this late in the year which I had never payed attention to before, and many of the other colors were gone because there weren't many leave left. Also, as I have mentioned before, the deer still seem to be coming by and laying in the lon...
