There was patchy snow, and overcast with light rain here and there. The nuthatches were going crazy, and wouldn’t stop chirping the whole time. I wish I could talk to them or at least understand what they are saying

It’s towards the end of gun season so I do have my shotgun with me just in case. I got a deer yesterday but I still have a tag I could fill. 

Below I have the pictures of the same spot every time, my angle shifted a few times due to being in a tree stand or not ordered from first (Aug 31) to last (Nov 27)  my last picture I am in the tree with my orange on.

No bugs again, I believe they have gone away for the winter finally.

Below I have some of the pictures I took from this study 












As you can tell the snow mostly disappeared, very patchy. I was surprised at how many leaves were still on the trees though.

As a final thought/challenge to anyone who might read this in the future: Get outside. Yes I am doing this for a grade and did slightly more work than normal, but this hunting/ observing isn't different from my normal life. Breathing the fresh air without service and snapchats and dings and rings and alarms going off is good for you. Even if you aren't a hunter or outdoor enthusiast like I am, there is a LOT of education out here you can't get in school. As Mark Twain once said, “Don't let schooling interfere with your education." Now I personally believe that school is good for you, but there is more to life that a classroom can't teach or show you.

It's Deer Season!!!     I t'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...

 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...
