It's Deer Season!!!
    It's that time of year again, people are talking about leaves and pumpkin spice lattes, all I can think about it getting fresh venison jerky. So I've got my bow with me this time. I'm loving this "homework". I am living my normal life and all I have to do is right a few things down as I observe them, its not this brutal time consuming assignment that I dread, I look forward to getting in the woods and nature and enjoying the things God gave me. Sadly I didn't get a deer this time, I blame it on the warm front. The deer don't like to move when it gets warm and it was warm.

-2:30-2:55 pm 10/2/22

-Clear sky

-65 Degrees

-40% humidity 

- 11 hr 41 min was the length of the day

Here are my linked videos:
-White Headed Nuthatch living its life
-White Headed Nuthatch returns and calls



 
Here is a random flower/weed that decided to bloom for some reason that was not there last time
When I got home last time I researched some bird calls and looks to try and identify them and in this picture below on the center of the tree you can see the White Headed Nuthatch, this guy and his friends loved me last time, I got multiple pictures and videos of them and they didn't seem to mind I was there.  


And in this picture we have that same view as before, with the trees and ground, so far pretty clear of leaves and everything is still green. 



No mosquitos this time, I saw some bugs but they didn’t disturb me at all. I’m hunting today so I got here at 1 and will leave around 8 so I had to choose a random time and I decided on 2:30-2:55, the woodpeckers and nuthatches were real active and the deer weren't so I started my time then because I could be more observant on the things around me and not necessarily on being 100 percent still, quiet and focused.

 1:25-1:50 pm 10/29/22 -Clear sky -59 Degrees -37% humidity  - 10 hr 26 min was the length of the day No mosquitos again, and really no bugs at all.  Everything is defiantly a lot less green than last time and a lot more brown. There wasn’t really a way to sneak in. Just crunch crunch crunch but luckily I wasn't hunting there today. Leaves were constantly falling down left and right especially in the wind.  Waterfowl season opened up a bit ago and I heard shots all around me going after ducks/geese by the river. I also had  a few fruit flies land on me and just chill out.  Linked video of leaves falling: leaves falling in wind Here are some leaf sketches I did, I couldn't identify that bottom one however the top one is a white oak. Heres my fruit fly friend And these pictures are showing how dead/ brown everything is and we can finally start to see some trees leaving their leaves behind on the ground.  Day 1 Animals I could identify...
