Observation 3
When I observed the horse hole, on May 31, it was about 8:30 PM, and around 55 degrees Fahrenheit. It had rained earlier that day, and I noticed there was more water in the pond, but not much, yet. The grass was wet and the air and the soil was damp, so this will help with the growth of the plants. The plants will also be able to provide food for grazing animals, such as the horses that go through there, or the chiselers, Spermophilus Beecheyi, that I have seen every time I go outside. These ground squirrels, then, provide food for larger animals. This is the transfer of energy in the environment, so once the chiseler dies, it decomposes and provides energy for the producers, and starts the cycle again. I hope the pond fills soon.
