6 November 2008 from 1025-1040
Location: The Mill Stream between Rogers and the library
Weather: 59 ̊ F, 5 mph breeze with gusts up to 15 mph, gray cloudy skies
General: Leaves fell from the trees like rain due to the strong wind. Those that stayed on the trees clattered in the breeze. With the strong gusts, the clattering would be so loud as to drown out the construction noises from the nearby theatre renovation and Ford Hall construction. The leaves on the ground race around in the breeze. The Mill Steam is still exceedingly low, but it has a slight current, which could be due to the strong winds, which are going in the same direction. For the past two days, the water has been a brown-gray, murky, color. It started after the rain, so perhaps the rain stirred up the silt on the bottom of the stream. However, today it is back to its normal color. Maybe with the reemergence of a current, the silt resettled to the bottom of the stream. I hope that the Mill Stream returns to its original level soon, it is much more appealing. I saw a Banded Garden Spider in a web, as I often do over here. It is probably the same spider every time—from comparing pictures, it looks the same. I did not see or hear any birds though.
