Field Observation (4/15)

For this week's field observation, I visited a nearby wildlife refuge in Seekonk, MA known as Caratunk, which is affiliated with Audubon. Today, Tuesday April 14, I picked a spot to observe at about 3:30 p.m., and the weather was mostly sunny with only a few clouds in the sky. We had a huge storm the day before, so a lot of the ground was still wet and muddy. The temperature was about 60˚, and there was little to no wind. The habitat could be best described as an "edge habitat," meaning it consisted of mostly a large field and grass on the edge of forested area. Also close by to where I was observing the birds is a small pond surrounded by forest. I picked this wildlife refuge and this spot to bird because I figured it would offer me a wide variety of species since it was such a diverse habitat. Near the field was a bird feeder as well, which I glanced over to check every once in a while.
