Nature Observation: Day 1

-       
     

    Day 1: Feels like summer! 
     I decided to make my official observing spot be underneath a tree on the Hodson/Evans lawn. This location will give me the chance to observe many different organisms in their natural habitat where trees, grass, sand, and the sky are in perfect view.

     "As I look into the grass, I see it is filled with many little particles of leaves, sticks, and dry grass.  In this particular spot there are several large ants crawling everywhere.  As a matter of fact they keep crawling all over me as well as these teeny tiny bright yellow bugs that almost look like little grasshoppers.  On any other day, I would just smash them, but I figure that would not be an appropriate action for a nature observation."
