Last Observation

Location: Flat Creek
Date: May 29, 2008
Time: 7:01 Pm
Temp: Not recorded
Weather: Little chilly, grey cloudy skies
Wind: Slight wind
Soil: Very moist
Today I can Specify a little yellow bird, don't know what kind of bird. It is perched on a willow using it as a ledge or nesting ground for its family. I can hear the many interactions between all the different noises. Two mallards are floating down the creek and one is diving under the water in search of food for the family as a survival need. As an adaption, once I sat down many of the birds and ducks flew off thinking I was a predator and they were in danger. I can see some more nests along the bank that look like they all belong to the same species. Many of the tiny birds seem to like to nestle in the willows as a sort of perch or they are collecting branches. Many of the organisms use this community as a way to live and survive and some of the birds I can tell they depend on many of the same resources to live.

Good job identifying some of teh species in your area as well as identify the survival needs that your area provides them, allowing them to be successful. There are still a few typos throughout, and by getting rid of these you will just bring your papers to the next level!
