Our observation area is about 20 meters in all directions.  I heard a cricket in the trees. Theres a slight breeze and  its 84 degrees. There are a lot of ants in the area we are observing.  A butterfly just flew by us, not sure what kind. It was yellow.

Temperature is the same, still a breeze.  Just heard a bird call, not sure what kind of bird and did not see the bird.  There are a lot of bees around us, also a lot of flowers. No poison ivy, a lot of dead brush.

Temperature is the same.  There are a lot of trees and other plant life around us, i see a few snake habitats, they are all empty unfortunately.  A few birds just flew by.   In one of the trees i see a birds nest, its very large and is built on many branches.  There are no birds in it, maybe those were the birds that flew by.

At 11:50,

Temperature is the same. I can hear dogs barking now, i think its coming from a hiker on the trails.  The shrubbery around us is mostly dried up.   The only green is the trees. I just heard something in the bush next to me, i cant see what it is.
