pond

Beginning to drizzle. Top inch or two was liquid, however, underneath is still has some ice. Areas with more ice on top around collection site. Hard to tell if what I collected was just from rain as I couldn’t get deeper underneath from my typical access point.

Moist, chill coming in air, a couple birds

Wet, heavy air with wind making it feel colder; birds quiet

Heard a lot of birds and frogs, felt very sticky, hot, and humid, smelled some blossoming nearby trees

Smelled like it’s crisp and getting colder, can smell the weather changing, smelled things beginning to blossom, and it kind of tickled my nose; heard redwing blackbirds

I see areas with ice on the water, cat tails, still down from when the snow melted; smells crisp and fresh and moist

Dock was very slippery, cardinals and downey woodpecker singing; smelled moist and like wet wood with a hint of cool crispness to the air

Saw the beginning of ice forming in some areas on the pond - very thin; relatively quiet except for a few birds; air smelled crisp, cool, and slightly moist;
