Field Study #2
Field Notes #2: 9/27/26 6:01 p.m. Climate conditions: light breeze, partly cloudy, sun, 64% humidity Temperature: 65 degrees Length of Day: 11 hours and 55 minutes (sunrise:7:37 a.m. sunset:7:32 p.m.) Observations: I noticed that the area looked fairly similar but I saw more leaves on the ground. I also heard a lot less birds than the my last study. Questions: I wonder if there are less birds because they are starting to migrate for the winter? When do birds in Michigan migrate for the winter? What birds stay in Michigan for winter?
The Art of Noticing Sketch
My sketch is of a milkweed plant. I found it just off to the side of the trail in some tall grass. I drew for about 15 minutes. I really enjoyed drawing this and I liked how there was a little grass hopper on one of the milkweed leaves.

30x30 Birds Eye View Map
This is my 30x30 box from the birds eye view. This is the map I drew of my 30x30. You can see the building and then the path. The box represents my 30x30 area. There are lots of trees that are surrounding a clearing type thing. There is also a lot shrubbery, grass, and weeds in my clearing.
