Study #3

 October 8th, 6:00pm

Temperature: 62˚ F

Day Length: 11hrs 23m

Cooler than last visit with a light breeze

This was 100% the most interesting visit yet at this spot. As I came in on the trail I saw a small toad, and then later on another:

As I took the water level photo (using the car part for reference):

I saw a reflection on the water and looked up to see a bald eagle zooming over head. Unfortunately, it was gone before I could catch a photo, but it was beautiful. I walked along the trail portion of my area and I got some cool photos:

Cool moss:

My dad and I then went squirrel hunting further down the trail, and we saw two of them: grey, and fox.

Unfortunately they were both about 50' up in a tree pretty far into the woods, so I couldn't do my study. I did do some research however and found that the two species intermix regularly, which was something I was unsure about.

After we accepted defeat, we walked back and I got this photo along the river:

After making the 7 minute walk back to the car, we were unloading our guns and we heard coyotes from across the river. It was the perfect evening with a blend out birds mammals, amphibians and nature.
