Observation 1
The area I decided to observe is "The Horse Hole" out behind my house. It is a partially forested region a little smaller than a football field with a pond that holds water in the summer. The pond is about a third the size of an Olympic swimming pool, and is home to wild ducks, and other water fowl in the summer.This habitat is just north of The Aspens. I'm not completely sure why my family and I call it "The Horse Hole," but I assume it's because we turn horses out there, and a neighboring ranch, in the summer. This is a pretty healthy habitat, so I expect to observe lots of organisms!

Love the title of your blog! Also, you did a nice job of describing both the size of your area and the pond in your study area. The wild ducks will serve as a great biotic factor to observe over the next few weeks. More details regarding the specific flora and other types of fauna in your area would have added needed depth to this first observation. Specifics that describe what your area looks like after the winter would have been helpful, as you observe the changes that occur in the next few weeks! 12/15
