Site: Behind my house in a wooded area
Date: 5-15-08
Time of day: 5: pm
Temperature: 59 degrees
Weather Conditions: sunny
Wind Conditions: Calm
Soil Conditions: Dry
Notes: The area is not that different than my last observation. The ground is getting dryer and more green. I have now realized that the bird population is completely dependant on the amount of birdseed in the bird feeder. It seems as if they move between the neighbors house and ours depending on which bird feeder is full. The flies are now making their way out of our house and into the outdoors. Chiselers have been running all over the ground as they come out of hibernation. The aspen trees are growing little fruits on their branches. I don't know if these are buds or seed carriers, but I think that they are seeds. A herd of elk passed by as they made their way up into the forest. This has probabley been my most uneventful observation so far.

Good observations regarding the birds reliance on the food that humans have produced. Do you think that if you stopped feeding hte birds they would have to leave due to limited resources and increased competition? Try and start to identify some of the different species in your area! Also, great job taking note of the physical state of the moose after this extrememly long winter!
I'm offended
