Temperature: 46 Degrees F
Weather: Few clouds, mostly clear and sunny
Winds: Very windy
Soil: Most soil is dry
In spite of the fact that it snowed the previous night and part of the early morning the ground is relatively dry and most of the snow is gone. Only the ground under the trees that is shaded by it’s branches remain wet or even covered in a small amount of snow. Besides the large biodiversity of plant life around the trees and the trees themselves, there is little vegetation around, yet the whole place is a bit greener since I last observed it. There is still a limitless amount of birds flying around the trees, I didn’t see any nest yet, but when the leafs start to grow back on the trees I expect them to nest on them. In both of my visits here I have seen geese. I research the geese, to do my animal report on them, and found out that they nest around these times. They might have nested a few weeks earlier and are waiting for their eggs to hatch. Maybe the next time I observe this area there will be a few goslings swimming around in the creek.

Good description of the area and how the plant life is supported by the river. Proof read for comma splices and other small typos. In the future maybe focus on forming hypotheses and identifying species of some of the vegetation.
