Leaves along path:
Organisms heard: Large amounts of tree crickets and katydids, lots of leaves falling from trees, occasionally some birds chirping, and two cars driving down the road
Changes since last visit 09/26/26: There was quite a lot of more leaves on the ground and different leave colors on the trees since we have begun to enter fall. Along with the change of seasons there was a decrease in organisms seen and heard from last visit. Additionally there was a slight decrease in the water levels leading to some sand bars in the river.
Excellent work! Try to vary your visit times a bit in the future, too, to see if it still makes a difference. Watch for patterns in the color change and leaf fall especially now through your next 2 visits!
