Observations: 

I heard the leaves rustle in the wind. 

I heard some birds chirping.

I saw a monarch butterfly. 

I saw some leaves staring to fall.  

I saw many small white butterflies flying by the goldenrods. 

I saw many birds flying around.

I saw a lot of honey bees and bumble bees taking the nectar from the goldenrods. 

I also noticed that a big tree is dying. 

In the top two pictures I took pictures of some honey bees close up. I am surprised I could get that close without getting stung! On the pictures below those, there is a tree that appears to be dying. It has looked pretty bad all summer but now it almost has no leaves! Also I learned that this yellow plant is called goldenrod and we have a ton of it in our backyard woods. Lastly, the last picture is just a 0.5 of what the woods look like and you can see how it goes from grass to tall weeds to trees. Thanks for reading!
