Observation #5

Day: May 19
Time: 3:30
Temp: 72 degrees
Weather: Beautiful Again!!!
Wind: Breezy
Soil: Dry
Since animals don't want to appear, I'll talk about the biodiversity of the fauna. There are two types of trees, pine and aspen. There is also lots of grass (unknown type), flowers (blue bells, flax, and some sort of flower thats purple), and a two low lying types of bush. That pretty much counts for all of Jackson though. I think that since the flora is growing so close, the bigger annimals with antlers can't fit, so they can't stay for long.
Predator vs. Prey~ There are tons of mice around. Every 3 to 4 weeks, cayotes come in from the mountains to hunt them. They keep us up most of the night yipping and howling. After they leave, the mice population is dramaticly decreesed.
