Today is very different than my other observation days because it is very rainy, and there are not very mnay organisms probably becuase it is so rainy. I only observed two birds, which I think were White-throated swifts which seem to be in competition with eachother over resources. They also seem to be here quite often. I think that the birds white-chest is an anti-predator adaptation because with the black back, they can blend into the willows and trees and dirt, and the white probably looks a little bit like sky from below. Camoflauge is a very common but effective adaptation. I noticed a commenstalistic symbiotic relationship between moss and trees, where the moss benifits by the trees becuase it has a place to grow, but the trees remain unaffected. I know that these trees are some kind of the conifer species, but I'm not sure what. I predict that when this storm passes alot of new flora species will be in my area, like more flowers and bushes, which increases competition over space.

Great information about the changes in your area, especially regarding the competition between the grass species and other flowering plants. You tied all of that together extremely well along with the survival needs of smaller plants. Proof read for some grammar mistakes that make the sentences a little disjointed. Overall good job!
