Date - September 7, 2025

Time - 6:34 p.m.

Temperature - 62°F

Weather - Sunny, 11 mph wind NW

Length of day - 12 hours 51 minutes

Organisms observed - Some squirrels and chipmunks, lots of birds and bugs

Sounds heard - Birds chirping, squirrels in the woods, bugs buzzing around, leaves rustling around with wind

Questions - I wonder if the leaves will change sooner this year due to the cooler temperatures earlier? I wonder if I will notice a significant change in the number of birds found due to them migrating?



I found birds high up in trees.



I think he scared away most of the squirrels and chipmunks for the day.



Hard to see in picture, but found lots of bugs flying around especially in sunny areas. (Red circle shows one of the bugs)


I wonder how long this tree has been here? I wonder when and how it fell?


Found lot of moss in places that got less sun.

Lots of bug Sounds heard - Squirrels and chipmunks rustling, leaves/branches falling, birds calling, bugs "ringing", neighbor mowing their lawn.  Questions - I wonder how the leaves changing will be affected by having a longer season of warm weather? I wonder how the certain areas are affected in the woods when the leaves fall? Specifically due to them getting more direct sunlight? Changes noticed since last visit - I noticed that there were a lot of new leaves that had fallen. There were also many trees that started to change colors. I also noticed the bugs being a lot louder today.  I found some squirrels climbing o...
