The Area I am interested in is Gambles Pond. It is at a public park. The area has a baseball field near the pond and a small path to the edge of the pond. The pond itself has a lot of vegetation. There are a handful of animals present. The pond itself is near a grassland area with rolling hills. There are a few trees and shrubs. Some of the trees may be ornamental. I visited at the start of spring on March 24, 2018. There is still snow present – but ducks and geese are present. Interestingly, a large section of the lake is lacking any ducks but a muskrat or otter is present.
The area of interest is shown below:
Areas of interest would be:
- Prevalence of ducks at different light levels and temperature levels.
- The ratio of male to female ducks
- The choice of location made by the ducks.
I have kept my lab book digitally:
