3rd Observation

Site: Snake River Ranch

Date: 5/13/08

Time: 5:47 pm

Temp: 52 degrees

Weather: partly cloudy sky,

Soil: very dry


As i got into my third observation there were some changes. Some of the changes are that u could see that a lot more green grass had been coming out, except there was still brown grass. Around this area there are more birds than before searching for food and with the dead grass thats around, birds use it to build their nests for their young to be born in. So that bigger animals won't be able to eat them. Thats why some build the nests in such high elevations so that they can look out for preditors and be safer.

2nd Observation

Time-6:00pm

Temp-60 degrees

Date-5/13/08

Location-Snake River Ranch

weather conditions-partly cloudy

soil conditions-dry/wet

On my second observation there werent many changes, except the weather had changed a lot since the last time i did my first observation. It had gotten warmer but there was still cold breeze. Lots amounts of elk are coming down from the mountins to eat. The trees still don't have their green leaves yet but as we get warmer weather and it rains instead of it snowing the trees will soon have green leaves. In the manmade rivers there is still no water for the geese to swim in. But as there are little raining showers, the fields might be damp so it makes the geese walk around and find food like warms or bugs.

1st Observation

Time-7:oo pm Temp-56 degrees Date-5/7/08 Location- 5700 snake river ranch Weather Conditions- cloudy, chilly Soil Conditons-wet My observation takes place in Snake River Ranch Rd. Some of the things that i saw were seven geese. It was wet because it had been raining before, it was about 56 degrees, cloudy, and slightly windy, so it was chilly at times just when the sun shined it would be a little bit warmer. It was about seven o'clock.Also two geese were either fighting or playing around by using their heads. As i was outside things that i was were huge logs, rivers, dead grass but the fresh new green grass was barely coming out. In the grass their might be nests from the geese. On the dirt road their wete puddles of water from the rain. The trees still did not have green leaves yet. Out on the fields their are little strems but there's still no water.
