During my second observation it was raining so the birds were not as active and there were no ducks. The sounds were still just the chirping of Yellow Headed and Red Winged Blackbirds. the sound of an owl also occurred. The willows were no larger or different. The cat-tail were still broken and laying down from the weight of the snow, except for the ones closest to the pond. It was hard to tell, but it didn't seem like the bugs were hitting the water as much as the first day. This is probably because of the rain. I am curious to see if the cat-tail will grow back soon. I am expecting more action from birds like; swans, ducks, and blackbirds.

Great comparisons between the two days, especially regarding the animal activity in the rain. Begin to link more of your observations to the ecological concepts in class, such as biodiversity, interactions between organisms, and how your area can support its communities.
