Observation #4

In my observation yesterday, I noticed that the plants have had an exponential amount of growth. Of course, this is due to the weather we have had, this has made every thing really green. I expect that more primary consumers will begin to emerge in the next coming days. The weather yesterday was crummy, but while I was observing it was sunny with a bit of cloud cover. Something interesting that I saw was an ant hill. I watched for a while and I noticed that a few ants were carrying a dead ant into their hole. It made me realize that ants are both Primary and Secondary Consumers! I have not seen the fox again, which has been a little disappointing. But, there are still high populations of many bird species. The goslings have finally hatched and are very cute. I saw some of them following their mother in a line. It was super cute!

  1. Good observations and connections to the flow of energy in the ecosystem, especially between abiotic factors, producers and consumers. Be careful to remain in formal language throughout your posting! 14/15
