  Field Study Number One, September 8, Macatawa River Natural Area This field study took place at 6:53 pm on Tuesday, September 8.

The length of day was 12 hours and 52 minutes, with sunrise at 7:15 am sunset at 8:08 pm.  I noticed a lot of insects in my immediate surroundings. I heard crickets cicadas, small gnats, and mosquitoes. Additionally, I felt the mosquitos as several of them bit me within a few minutes of my arrival.
