Week 2: New Spot!

Week 2
Place: McCollum Park (new observation spot)
Temperature: 66 F; Sunny, then partly cloudy

Time: 1:25-3:05

My new central spot!

Cool spot I'm gonna follow too

I forgot to mention in my notes that I found a hummingbird! It was flying around the bare tree on my central spot's picture to the right, the big redcedar. I'm not sure if it was looking for nectar, but it kept going there. Maybe a nest? 

In this spot, I definitely found lots of sword ferns and underbrush, which kind of look like weeds so I assume they are weeds. I'm liking my new spot much better.

My sketch pad was too big so the scanner couldn't capture the whole page properly. It is slightly blurry and cut off at some parts. I'm going to have to switch to another notebook in order to scan properly in the future. If any TAs or professors want to see my notebook, you know where to find me.

Here are some pretty pictures of a "swamp marsh" thing near my site.

Here are some pictures of the flowering plants I mentioned in my journal.

I'm not sure what kind of bird this is, but it was calling for a while, like looking for a mate.

Blooming buds

I'm seeing more of these flowers on trees

These were on the ground that I haven't seen before. They must have started growing because there are a lot of them.

I found some mushrooms on a downed log! They look cool, and were the only ones I found. Kind of odd...

I'm pretty sure this is a weed.
