Location: Deep in the park north of the construction site.
Weather: Sunny and Clear at 80 degrees
Time: 1430 1445 hours
As I venture deeper into the park near the construction site in hopes of finding any sort of animal life, the fact that it is midday and HOT tells me that I am unlikely to find much of anything alive out here because of the noise from the construction site and the heat of the day. However, I was able to find some Barn Swallows perched in the trees farther away from the construction site. They weren’t flying around, but it seemed as if they were trying to conserve their energy and resources and stay cool in the heat. I was very surprised to find anything alive out here because of the reasons I mentioned earlier all working together to make the outside a hostile place for animals during the time of my walk. However, once I had gotten deep enough into the park, the sounds from the construction site were somewhat muffled, so the animals who live there may escape some of the effects of the construction site, making the effects less far reaching than I had imagined.
