observation #1 area description


Site: palasaydes river behind my house.


Time:7:15


Date: may-5th-2008


tempurature: 59 degrees


weather: nice, sunny, warm


soil: pretty dry but where the snow melts.





My area is behind my house about fourty acres away. There is a running river there, that never goes dry year round. there is pastures for horses and cattle to graze there, and lots of fish in the water and deer and rabbits on land. There is lots of grass, thorn bushes, willows, and cat tail bushes growing there. There is only a few pines there unless you go a couple of acres down the river then 100's of pine are there. There are lots of ducks and geese on the river where lots of people hunt them. shotgun shells are scattered all over the ground from the hunters. man made fences line the property and so do man made roads and cattle guards. scat from the cattle, horses, deer, gophers, rabbits, and coyotes are there also. The grasses there are vegetation for the grazing animals there, and the water is a good drinking source for them to. every now and again you can see a crane or a eagle that makes there nests from the cattle fur, and the scrubs there on the ground. There is tons of wildlife there. the ground is just about completely dry and the only wet spots are right on the river banks and it is about all gone.
