Today is September 30, and I have just done my second field study notebook at 3:40. The temperature was a perfect autumn 63º, not to cold, but no longer summer. There wasn't much of a breeze, but there wasn't a cloud in the sky. The sun was peeking through trees and leaves, making beautiful shadows and silhouettes on the ground. The length of day today is approximately 11 hours and 40 minutes. While trying to make as little sound as possible to not disturb the peace of nature, I happened to hear and then see a small bird hopping softly along the ground. It flew away, but then I noticed a squirrel scampering up a tree, pausing midway to twitch it's black tail. These days, the air smells of fall, like tree bark and warm but chilly feeling. I could hear birds chirping happily and the stillness of the air coursing through my lungs.
