  Date: 11/19/22 Time: 1:50 Climate Conditions: cold and  partially cloudy  Temperature:25 °f Organisms:  saw trees and saw/heard a group of geese migrating.  Change: snow, little to no leaves on trees, animal tracks (bunny) all around the tree with the food (I think the squirrel spilled some).  Things to note:  camera worked, with the high wind on thursday a tree that was previously tucked behind the camera tree was blown out of place and therefore there were over 200 picture of said tree moving on thursday, the batteries then died friday morning but due to the fact that I see little to no activity the 24 hours before I come so will not be redoing it. possible that a squirrel knocked down some apple and the deer ate it as there are 1 pictures of a deer at night.   questions: none to date  length of day: 9:37  Picture:  interesting photos from wildlife camera:

    Date: 10/8/22 Time: 1:30 pm  Climate Conditions: cloudy Temperature: 50°f Organisms:  saw and heard 3 squirrel for about 30 consecutive minutes. saw 3 birds heard at least 5 birds consecutively for 10 minutes and off an on throughout the hour I was there.  saw saplings, trees and ivy. felt daddy longlegs, heard one bee about 30 minutes in. Change: changes in activity of wildlife, temperature, aridity of soil (back to mud), and height of saplings.   Things to note:  not angry squirrels, still no clear visual of small rodents but food is finished once again, I am not continuing with the assumption that each picture not in the time frame I was present is a small animal eating food as I have found a better camera and the past week the sd card ran out of storage after only 2 photos, both of me setting it up...  questions: none to date  length of day: 11:30 Picture:
