observation #3

site: behind my house fourty acres away.

time: 6:18

date: may 14, 2008

tempurature: 44 degrees

weather: cold, cloudy, night time

soil: completely dry.

In my observation area, the water was flowing really really fast because of the snow run off. The weather was much colder down by the river because it was cloudy outside, and the river was cold also. A new group of ducks and geese came in and were swimming around the river. mallard ducks were there and there was two male green headed colorful mallards and two female brown bodied mallards with the ntwo male mallards. There was two geese that flew in and were swimming about two feet away from the mallard ducks. The green grass was coming up really well and the soil was really dry because all the snow had melted completely. The ducks and geese are helping the plants and grass grow because of there poop is spread out onto the ground. They also help the coyotes eat because when they die than it creates food for the coyotes.
