 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.
