Soil: Dry little moist

Today in the creek the water is very muddy and murkey due to the snow melt. It is also very rapid and high. Across the creek I can begin to see the williows blossum and some other shrub, but I am not sure what it is. Not to many signs of organisms today. I can hear some birds chirpping around and can see some finches gathering in the willow twigs. The finches probably are using the twigs they collect to surport their survival needs in building a nest, and filling their niche. I see some speicies flying above like some geese and some black birds. Also visible from my view I can see no more remains of snow on the hill side due to the high temperatures. Also I can view way more green trees and plants blooming. Many spp. of bugs are flying around and landing in the creek for fish which is part of the food chain.
