Clare's Field Study

Saturday, September 26, 2026 I finished my third field study today! I've been waiting (and wanting) to do one (since these have been turning out to be quite fun), and had the perfect chance this weekend, so I thought "why not?". I was able to see some changes in my area since last time, since its been two weeks this time. The days are flying by! It was also a splendid day out, perfect for being outside.

Field Notes: Date : 09 - 26 - 26 Time : 5:30p.m. - 5:50p.m. Length of Day : 7:32a.m. -7 :33p.m. (12h, 1m) Temperature : 66°F (felt warmer) Climate : Clear and sunny, dead calm Observations : It was gorgeous out today!

Despite being a short break in between field studies, I could still depict  some  changes at my spot (as subtle as they were)!  (edit) P.S. this entry also doesn't have a ton of photos because I didn't look hard enough when I was out :') Field Notes Date : 09 - 12 - 26  Time : 5:10p.m. - 5:45p.m. Length of Day : 7:17a.m. - 7:56p.m. (12h, 39m) Temperature : 80°F Climate : Sunny with partial clouds, slight wind Observations : It was a really nice day, similar to last time but different nonetheless! This time, I didn't hear the cicadas, but maybe it was just because the crickets were so loud. I also heard a couple different bird calls, but firstly- lets clear up that I...
