Observation #7

Date: 5.27.08
Temperature:
Time: 7:00ish
Weather: not to much of a breeze.
Wind conditions:

In my observations today there was not much change. I have noticed that the water level has dropped. In my last observation the water level was really high, due to all of the run off. Now it has dropped. I assume this is because there is no more snow to melt. When it was really high there was alot of snow that had been melting. Now there is little or no snow left to melt. There was also not many animals in my area today. The only thing that I saw was the osprey and a beaver. The beaver has been working on its damn lately. He/she has been dragging alot of willow and tree branches through the water, building up his damn. By creating a damn he is creating a environment for other animals and insects. The damn slows down the flow of the water and can make little ponds. This makes a habitat for ducks as well as bugs that like marshy places to live.
