Observation # 6

Location - cash creek
Date - May/21/2008
Time - 5:57
temperature - 60 deg
weather conditions - raining
soil conditions - wet


Today the weather condition was rainy, it has been raining since yesterday in the evening. For the vegetation its a good thing because the Reilly on water for food and photosynthesis. On my way to the location i saw allot of worms lying on the side walk, some were dead and some were still alive. In my location i didn't see many birds coming out to eat. I think the weather was holding the bird back from feasting on the worms. I'm not quite sure what kinds of birds lives in the site of the road. I was trying to find bird nests in the trees but i didn't see any. Since the weather was drizzling rain, there wasn't that much activity going on with the squerals. I only saw two squerals runing in to the trees. they were probably going to their shelter to take cover from the rain. The willo trees are finally getting more leaves on their branches. The dandy lions are everywhere not only on the site but on people's front yards and in the parks as well. I think the dandy lions i have seen in peoples yards aren't going to be there for long because dandy lions aren't flowers they are weeds and alot of them make their front yards look ugly. By this time all the biotic and biotic factors are just keep growing every day.

Good job with your observations, both with the plants and animals! Also, without even realizing it you have described the human impact on the environment, as weed killers prevent the growth the weeds in your lawn. Do you the think the weeds are good or bad in the environment? Is there competition between the dandelions and the other plants? What would happen if the dandelions took over?
