Feb. 24,2019 Willow and Avocet Observations at Arcata Marsh
Our observations started at 11:45am and ended at 12:50. The weather was cloudy, rainy, and windy the whole time we were out in the field.The wind speeds were 11mph and the temperature was 50 degrees Fahrenheit. I went and observed with my partner Chris and we documented several changes to our willow tree, Mak. Its percentages of breaking buds increased to 20% and the same data to leaf growth. An observation I made while walking around the marsh was that Willow trees that were more exposed to elements seemed to grow faster, as they already had evidence of fruits, unlike our willow that is sheltered from natural elements. At Klopp Lake for our avocet observation at 12:07 the weather was still overcast, with lots of rain and wind. We spotted multiple avocets because the tide was very low and the mudbanks were exposed. They were black and white and feeding on the mudbanks. We observed feeding behaviors from the avocets and other ducks, less than 20% were feeding .
