Saturday, November 26. (3 - 4 PM)

Weather: Sunny, Windy, 50° 

Daylight: 7:49 AM - 5:07 PM

Notes: As it seems, whenever I try to do field observations, wind gets in the way. Although I didn't see anything today, there was a family of Pileated Woodpeckers on a tree nearby my study area yesterday which I got a picture of. It's hard to see them in the picture but there are 2 bigger ones, which I assume are the parents, and one smaller juvenile. Although I didn't get a picture of it, I also saw a beaver in the wetlands in my area, which would make sense because of the trees that I've seen marks on. I also wanted to find out what type of evergreen trees we have on this point, so I sketched it and looked it up. Based on what I found, we appear to have eastern white pines. This makes sense, seeing as the eastern white pine is Michigan's state tree.
