 Day 4: - November 1st, 2026 - Temp. 64 - Length of day 7:16AM-5:36PM It was a lot quieter today. You could only really hear the sounds of birds. There were many Canadian Geese, a few Black Swans, and a handful of Swans. Waldo the Blue Heron was out but I was unable to get a picture of him due to his elusive nature.  There was also a group of like 5 pairs of mated ducks 10 in total in another pond. I feel like the ducks and geese/swans might not get along well. There was quite a fishy smell due to one of the pond's being drained dry. Many of the floral was dead or withering away Here were where most if not all of the geese were hanging out. At this time the swans had not yet seem to have flown over yet. There were these really soft looking plant thing. I have no floral knowledge so I can not identify this plant.

Day 3:  - October 3rd, 2026 - Temp.  64 -Length of day 7:14AM-7:21PM   It was quite breezy and for that there was a constant of falling of leaves. The birds were a bit quite than before. But there were still some birds chipping. There was a soft russel of leaves from the breeze in the tree tops. It was warm but there was also a nice breeze. It was quite sunny out. Despite fall very quickly approaching there were still many beautiful flowers in bloom. The flower beds were full of many different kinds of flowers. I love the different colors that are found out in nature.

 Day 2: -September 20 1:39PM -Temp. 64 -Light rain/drizzle with damp conditions There was a lot more noise compared to last time. You could hear many loud birds and crickets. There was also some sounds of gun shots in the distance. You could also better hear one of the water dams from the pond over. It felt very calm and peaceful, there was also no one else really out of the trails due to the rain. The rain started very light but over time got a bit heavier nothing to horrible. The trail had a few huge rain puddles covering the entire trail. Very muddy and damp conditions out there.  Here are two types of berries that I saw when I was out there. The red berries seem to be Michigan Holly Berry. It is native and is very good for the natural population. The black deduced to be American Black Elderberry, it is also native though it does grow very fast and sometimes can become a bit of an issue.

Day 1: - August 30 1:30PM -Temp. around 81 - Humid conditions Beyond the sounds of crickets and cars passing by. I did not hear much animal life. It was quite an amazing spot though. Some animals I saw but was not able to capture a picture of was a snake, green heron, and two swans. I look forward to seeing my spot change over the coming weeks.   This the 30x30 plot of land I chose. Some local flora that was in bloom in the area. This is my sound map and birds eye view map.
