Field Visit #2
September 19, 2025 4:00pm 86 degrees F, Sunny with a light breeze Sunrise 7:28am--->Sunset 7:46pm Length of Day: 12 hours and 18 minutes Senses Felt - I felt the sun coming down. It was pretty warm today. There was a breeze that picked up every once in a while. Heard - I could hear crickets and cicadas buzzing. I could hear one bird that kept squawking for almost the whole time I was there. There were some other birds that would chirp a few times then fly away. I heard the trees blowing in the wind when it started moving. I heard leaves crunching under my feet when I walked around. Also I heard somebody's pet dog bark twice in the distance. Saw - I saw a lot of plants that were still green. A few flowers still had color, but most that had color last time were dead now. I saw some trees start to change colors and quite a few leaves on the ground. I saw some yellow leaves and some really pretty red leaves from an oak.

Field Visit #1
August 29, 2025 2:30pm 65 degrees F, Sunny with a light breeze Sunrise 7:05am--->Sunset 8:24pm Length of Day: 13 hours and 19 minutes EDD Link Senses Felt - The soft pedals on the flowers. I also felt a light breeze and the rays of sun coming through the trees. Heard - I could hear cicadas buzzing and crickets chirping continuously. When the wind picked up leaves rustled in the trees. I heard a tap-tap-tap, I looked up, and there was a Downy Woodpecker knocking on a tree. I could also hear some other birds chirping. Saw - I saw a Downy Woodpecker, just 15 feet above me just pecking away at the tree. I also saw a female cardinal and a Goldfinch. There were a few bunches of red berries. I saw a few purple wildflowers, lots of glowing yellow goldenrod, and some bright white fleabane. A butterfly flew through the area and a white cabbage moth. Thoughts - I was struck with a sense of awe when I saw that woodpecker. It is amazing that God can think of a bird that can poke hole...
