Observation Day 2





On day two i was not looking forward to going outside due to the previous day being so cold. But, it had warmed up and it wasn't as bad as i had thought it would be. At site one went to the pond and snuck up on the geese. We didn't really get close enough to get a good picture. It was cold when the wind blew and we could hear the sound of buses in the background. It was kind of muddy on the ground and a little wet where it was close to the pond. At site two there was a lot of pine needles, leaves, and pine cones. We could hear some sort of bird high in the trees. It was still cold but the wind had died down as we got further into the woods. At site three a hawk was flying high above the tree tops. You could hear the leaves gently rustling in the background. Ms. Richardson tried to get everyone to be quiet so that we could hear something but by the time we had everything was probably scared off. It was kinda dark since we were under the cover of the trees. I was feeling pretty tired from all the walking and it was about time to head back to the school. At site four the buses were preparing to leave the bus garage to pick up students. We saw many trees that had fallen many years ago and had begun to rot and decay in order to become a part of the forest. Its weird to think that all that stuff rots and eventually turns into the soil and you cant tell what it is any longer. The sun came out and began to shine on us warming our faces. It felt amazing and made me want to take a nap. There was a couple acorns on the ground too that had been stored by the squirrels over the winter.
