Site: Behind my house in a wooded area
Date: 5-9-08
Time of day: 6:55 am
Temperature: 36 degrees
Weather Conditions: Overcast, light rain
Wind Conditions: Calm
Soil Conditions: Wet
Notes: Buds have now began turning to leaves. The snow is now limited to small patches of areas in the shade. There is now a little more bird activity. This is probably due to the fact that my parents refilled the bird feeder. I spotted a herd of elk just outside of my area. The elk are on their way up into the mountains to have their young where it is safer and more protected. There is still little to no insect activity. There was squirrels climbing up and down the trees. The area smells like a damp forest because it had been raining last night. Animals are trying to compete for their territory and resources. The population of squirrels are constantly chatting with each other.

Great observations and notes of change between your first and second observations. Start incorporating some more of the ecology concepts and ideas to add depth to your observations. Also just read through for typos!
