Observation #7

site: Backcyard

Date: 5/28/08

Time: 8:30 pm

Temp: 45 degrees F

Weather: Partly cloudy and breezy


In the past three weeks, the rubarb plant in my yard has grown over three feet longer than it's origional sprout. An aspen tree has developed green sprouts since my last visit and the grass has grown about two inches longer. The days of intense sun exposure and the excesive amounts of raian balance eachother and together form a perfect climate for the plants in my yard to grow. Today I took notice to a nest of great horned owls just outside of my observation perimeter. The nest is in an aspen tree about twenty feet high. Judging by their general size, i assume they are only a few weeks old. So many different species and numbers of trees help to support the large populations of birds.
