Field Journal 6

Today, April 15th 2020, I did my birding excursion from my home. Due to the quarantine and mandatory stay at home order, I figured that doing my birding from my house was the smartest decision for this week. I went out my yard at around 3 PM and was out until around 4:15 PM. It has been in the mid-40's today with the sun peeping in and out from behind the scattered clouds. The wind made it feel rather cold outside, as it blew west at about 10-15 mph. My apartment is located on Colchester Avenue in Burlington, VT. My house sits just a few minutes down the hill of UVM's Trinity Campus. I do not have much of a yard to work with, but I have a small patch of green in front of my house next to the road where two deciduous trees reside. This is a very residential area, and I am surrounded by two other apartments on either side of me. Across the road there is a small hill that is lined with many coniferous trees that block other apartments from the road in between us. Overall, this was not the most ideal habitat to go birding in, but I was still able to see four species of birds.
