Site name/location: My backyard/pond
Date: May 11, 2008
Time of day: 6:48 pm
Temp: 53 degrees F
Weather conditions: Cloudy
Wind conditions: Very windy
Soil conditions: More vegetation, less flooded near the water
Hypothesis: I predict that more animals will come with the more vegetation.
This only being my second observation I noticed more differences in my location. They animal life is now black birds, robins, ducks, and yellow head black bird. There were no frog out this time. There was more different types of animals only less of them. Last observation the water was high and some what flooded. This time it was very shallow and even island of the pond floor was showing. The places that were very dry now have more grass and less dirt. There is no more snow so now the plants are growing more rapidly. Soon I think the wheat grass and cattails will start growing as well.

Good observations and species identification. I also liked how you talked about some of the interactions between the birds and the various plant life. As you continue your observations, keep making more connections to the ecology ideas. Also just proof your observations for word choice and sentence fluency.
