I went around the san Carlos bay side to find some observation. This was the first time I was able to find some fungus. I also found sea lion and some other species. It was a really good trip, I felt it was the perfect place to get more observation and I was able to get really good species observation out of it. Overall felt like the perfect way to end this project. Even though I didn't get all the 10 different fungus, but I was able to get a lot of observation.

I am going to JV park tomorrow near Half moon bay. I have about 22 research grade observation, but I only have about 4 phylum, so I am going there in the search of 6 different phylum and will be looking to get all my observation in by tomorrow. Which would mean I would need to spend last 3-4 days to get my table and reflection done. Looking forward to that.

I have been going around a lot and getting observing a lot of species. This week I have decided to stay in my house, and we have a small farm. So, after having a chat with professor, I have decided that I have will be going to my farm at night to see any kind of species. Especially today, because it rained around 6:00PM, so I will be going at 7:30PM to get some observation from the small farm we have at our place. I am excited to see what kind of species I will be observing.

When I said it last time that I won't make a list of what park I will go to. I just went outside and stopped at a few park to see if I can find something. I did go around Redwood City, San Carlos and Belmont, but I didn't get off my car, because it was raining. So, I have decided to this Wednesday as it's expected to be sunny. I was really surprised by the amount of rain, so I couldn't get off my car to look for species.

I haven't decided what park, I will be visiting this weekend, but I will be going around in my area and stopping at certain park to see if I can find something. This weekend is going to be an open drive weekend, where I will travel around in my city and see if I can find good park and some good/unique species. Very excited as there is no anticipation, so would be very interesting to see how things goes.

This week was amazing. I went to few parks in Fremont. I got hold of a couple of species, but same thing. It's really hard for me to find out what kind of species it is. I will be back asking my professor to see what kind of species are those. I am really excited to know what kind of species photos I took.

Well, I wondered around some park in San Jose such as: Martial Cottle, Houge. I didn't really see anything I would have liked to see, but there some kind of birds that I saw. This where unique birds, that I have seen before. I will be talking with my professor to see what is the exact name of the bird. With next week, I am going to my uncle's house in Fremont, so I feel that will be on place, where I will be exploring around to see for some more birds or animals. Hopefully, I can find some better once.

My journey to Edgewood Park past Wednesday was amazing. Before I went there I was expected to walk around for about 1-2 hours, but it end up being 4 hours long walk (Yes, I lost a lot of calories). As I was walking I was observing a lot of different things, I have taken photos of at least 8-9 different kind of species and at least 3 of them being really good photos. I am expecting to put it on my observation page by tomorrow evening. My trip there was really good, I enjoyed it a lot.

Now going into next weekend, I want to go to a park in San Jose. Just change in place. I have not yet searched for a good park in San Jose, but I am looking forward to do that research at the start of next week and get to that park by Wednesday and have more observations.

So, over the last few weeks, I have been searching for different kind of species (animals). Now for the next 2 weeks, I am planning on looking for different kinds of plants. I have decided to go on Wednesday to a park near my house called "Edgewood Park". A lot of people have told me that at Edgewood you would probably find a lot of different kind of plants. So, I am going to be driving to Edgewood Park this Wednesday.

Finding squirrels in my neighborhood is really easy, but I felt that finding squirrels in a park would give me a better experience and will provide more details about what squirrels eat and what they do for living. I went to a park near my house called "Burton Park". It's a really big park with acres of open field and basketball courts. This turned out to be the best place where I can find squirrels and their activities such as: eating, living and activities among each other.
