Site Observation #3

The first site was in the woods next to the road that leads to the Bus Garage. It felt like it was about forty degrees outside. There were dry, dead leaves that covered the ground. I found fungus on a log that was lying near the creek. After the class was done taking observations at this spot, we moved to the lake. The grass was brown, dry, and dead. I found a few holes in the ground that were dug up by animals. The class then moved to a trail that led to the side of the lake after we were done observing that site. Cat tails were spotted on the side of the lake. Most of them were very tall. Beside the cat tails, the grass was flattened and looked like an animal tried to make a bed out of the flattened grass and cat tails. Next to the lake, I found more fungus on a tree branch. The fungus was very strange looking. It was in the shape of coral and was a very dark, brown and black color. After we were done taking pictures and writing observations about that site, the class moved back to the front of school to our next site. There weren't many traces of life there. In the mud were many human foot prints. There weren't many trees, but I did find a tree that has moss on it. The moss went most of the way up the tree. It was a sea-foam green color.
