Observation #4

Date: 5/14
Time: 6:36
Temperature: 55 degrees F
Weather Conditions: Partly cloudy
Soil Conditions: Getting moist

During this observation it was partly cloudy, but with some sun. It also started to drizzle a little. There is more green grass than dead grass now. In some places the soil is getting moist, but still is fairly dry. The geese were not in the field this time (where did they go? will they come back?), although I could hear some geese and saw 2 of them fly overhead. In various willows were different birds. There was a red winged black bird, a robin, a magpie, a pinesiskin (small bird that I looked up in a bird book). I could also hear song sparrows, as well as 4 swallows flew past. In the pond there were 4 ducks. There was a drake and hen mallard. A black and white duck was out there again and I found it to be a barrows golden eye. There was also a little grey and black duck called a gadwall. There is very high biodiversity in this area.
