Notes: I have not seen many organisims in my area for about maybe a week or week in a half. The only populations that I have seen lately are probably just flocks of geese flying over our house to the Snack River. The ecosystem that I live in happenes to have many abiotic factor, like dirt, rocks, and water. I have really been wondering why so many animals happen to can into the environment that I, and many more live in. It is probably because where I live has a lot of watery areas, and the animals that I mostly see are animals that live near watery areas. The different kind of biodiversities that are so over populating the other organisism are between the ducks, geese, birds, fox, and moose. Most of the biotic factors are the trees, grass, plants, and so one. Not much succession has happened around the are that I live in because it is so wet that if there was to be a fire, it would probably be cooled down; at least what I have heard. The only competion that I have seen are to geese fighting over, either the female goose or the area that they happen to be in, like the arae only belongs to them. Not much has really changed except for a lot more grass has been growing in and the trees are really starting to get their leaves back. But since it has been raining so much, the Snake River has really been rising, along with our pond.

Good job really looking at your area and at the different species that inhabit your area! I like that you make a lot of different hypotheses about why certain events are happening in your area. Continue to make more species identification and tie what you see to the ecology terms.
