Observation #1

Site: Backyard/off highway 89 by highschool
Date: 5/7/08
Time: 8:17 pm
Temp: 60 degrees f
Weather: Coudy sprinkling slightly breezy
Soil: Moist

My observation area is located just off highway 89 in Jckson Wy. It contains three ever green tree that are about 40-50 feet tall and is surounded by a feild used for razing cows and horses. THe trees and plants are not yet flowering this is most likely due to the cold weather. They appear they will flower soon probably in a week or so when the temperature is warmer and the sun is more exposed. The birds are sheltered in the trees from the rain along wit the insects. I assume the insects will probably be a more common sight when it is warmer, dryer maybe earlier on in the evening. I am curious to see if the brids are nesting yet. The giant trees provide for a bird sanctuary for birds like magpies, robins, brewer black birds, owls, redtail hawks and many more. I am interested to see if the flora bloom with in the next 4 weeks.
