Obersation 2
When I went out to observe the horse hole, on May 23, I noticed that there were lots of dandelions, and that, as I expected, there wasn't any water in the pond. Well, there was a little bit of water from previous precipitation. This is where I got the mud that I used for my ecology picture! It was about 2:00 during my observation, and I saw willows, aspens, moss, a Hairy Woodpecker, a Blue Violet, other plants that I couldn't find the name of, and lots of grasses. It was mostly sunny with partial cloud cover, around 65 degrees, and a small, not very noticeable breeze. The soil appeared to be very fertile, because there was lots of different species of plant growing in this area. As I was leaving, I saw two undefinable birds that were possibly mating. I wonder when the pond will fill.

Good species identification, and to add more detail in future posts include the scientific names of these species. Also, be sure to write about the significance of what you see as well as listing what you see. For example, how do the dandelions (as a weed) affect the area? How do they affect available niches and survival needs for other organisms? 12/15
