Scale Bar: Near Normal
Description:
plants/wildlife: while walking this morning I stopped to sample a street corner lot that appeared to have a large number of dandelions. By tossing a hollow ring with area of 50 square inches, I sampled 600 total square inches for round dandelion seed heads. While visually aiming the tossed hollow ring at the dandelions, I found 10 flowers within the 300 square inches inside the tossed ring. Using the blinded over the shoulder toss, I found 2 dandelions within the 300 square inches sampled by ring. The height of three representative stalks were measured at 4, 7, and 5 inches above the soil. During the sample period, two Canada geese flew overhead just beneath streetlight altitude and an organized group of more than 20 gulls quietly flew towards the rising sun at altitude too high to classify but resembled ring billed sea gull wing/body color/patterns.
