Soil Conditions: Muddy
In this observation there was less biodiversity than any other time I've observed. It was pouring rain, very chilly, slightly breezy, and the soil was muddy because of the rain. The geese are gone again. There was 3 drake mallards and 2 hen mallards flying around and they stopped briefly on the pond. There was also another duck called a gadwall. The grass is almost completely green, and the willows now have green buds on them. There were 4 swallows flying around, along with a red winged black bird, a robin, a magpie, and 2 other birds that I looked up in the bird book called black headed grosbeaks. The most exciting thing I observed was 2 bald eagles flying towards the Grand Tetons.

i look pretty hot in that one picture, dont i?!!!
Great observations, but continue to make even deeper connections to ecology (like you did with the inter and intraspecigic competition) with the majority of them. Look at the reasons behind what you are seeing regarding the behavior of organisms. Also, just proof for a few typos!
