I heard many types of birds but only a few of each, and never at the same time. There were many different bugs and flys that were making noise through the whole time I was there. The leaves were also rustling a lot becaUse it was windy. I saw one squirrel climbing a tree and later found an empty nut shell on the ground, suggesting something (maybe the squirrel) at it. I could not find any animal tracks. I think that is because it had just rained. There was also a hole in the ground by some trees. It is probably and burrow for an animal.

There were some things that had changed since the last time I had come. One was that some of the green had gone away. There was much more green in my last visit. There were also some white flowers on a plant that had been only green before. There were new berry like things on a plant bare before.

The river looked pretty brown when I was there and now I know that is because of the dirt runoff from the rain. But I wonder if project clarity has focused on my field study area at all with making it have less runoff or have they not because the river does not present a significant amount of phosphorus to Lake Mac.
