Observation #4

On May 18, 2008 at 9:09 PM I did my fourth observation. The temperature was about 64 F and the sky was mostly clearly with a full, or almost, moon. The surprising heat even into the night changed my area extremely. The blackbirds, frogs, ducks, goose, insects, and even bats were very active. The trees are budding, the grass is growing, and the cat-tails now stand taller then my height. When lowering down to the level of the pond where there is crusted mud you can see small animal foot prints. The mud is creating a musty smell and it seems the insects are also enjoying whatever is getting trapped in the mud.
