Site name/location:Behind my house/pond
Date: May 14, 2008
Time of day: 6:46 pm
Temp: 53 degrees F
Weather conditions: Cloudy
Wind conditions: Mild breeze
Soil conditions: More vegatation
Hypothesis: I predict that with increase of tempature there will be more forms of life.
Now vegatation is coming more and more each time. I noticed there are plants in the water and algie. There is weeds and now there are little buds on the trees. The cattails are also begining to grow As for the organisms there was a few new species to the area. There was small hoove marks in the mud which tells me something bigger was there. There was also more ducks, geese at the near by pond and a bird that I can not identfiy but it was black with orange at the top of it wings. As I studied the pond I made some new wierd discoveries. First the water has been getting more and more shallow. Most of the pond is mud rather then water. Then in the places with water there is many plants and bugs. As for the ground it is mainly poulated by birds. Soon I think that more then just birds will dominate the area.

Good observations, but to make it even more in depth be sure to connect back to ecology terms. As the water level drops in the pond, you can talk about how the available niches in the area are changing and how that will affect the populations. Be sure to proof read as small errors take away from the content of your posting!
