Closing
Hello my wonderful scientists,
WOW, this has been a really exciting 2 weeks! I can't believe how much I've learned, can you? I had a great time here in Nova Scotia and I am so proud of all of you for being such great scientists with me throughout my time here. I hope that you continue to care about the Earth like you do now.
I have some trapping results to report to you. At our first field site, called Cook's Lake, we found twice as many voles as our second field site, East Port Medway. Also, we found twice as many snowshoe hares in East Port Medway than we did at Cook's Lake. We have many ideas about why we came to these results but need to collect more data before we can make a definite decision. I guess I know what the next Earthwatch team will be doing :)
This is one very cool thing about our new field site (East Port Medway)...we caught a rock vole!!! A rock vole is different from the voles we caught at Cook's Lake in a few ways. One of the differences is the color of the two voles. The voles by the lake are a brown color because they live in the forest so brown is a better color to protect them from predators and the rock voles live in the rocks so being a gray color helps to protect them.
This is very exciting because many people in Nova Scotia think that there are no rock lemmings that live here. The scientists are hoping that they will continue to catch them so that they can report a good finding.
Next, camera traps.
Sadly, even with all of the food that we left out, we caught nothing too exciting except for this...
we haven't been able to figure out what type of mammal this is or why it was going so crazy...hopefully you can help us figure this puzzle out.
Since you did such an amazing job writing comments on my blog page I decided to create one last movie for you telling you about many of the things I have noticed and thought during my time here.
I can't wait to see you on Monday! You definitely ROCK!!!
Love,
Ms. Livingston

Dear Ms.Livingston
Hear are some think that we learn when you wear in Nova Scotian.
The snowshoe haer can not camouflage because their are not much snow.
About feces. we learned that feces have bones and fur. That tells you that that animal is a big animal.
About global warming. It affects animals by CO2 and pollution.
We can't wait to see you on Monday!!

Dear.Ms.Livingston
We now thaty the Snow shoes hear are not haveingeny camouflage.Because snow is melting and they are white but the forest is green and brown.
It is fine to make trails because people can lost in the forest. If you go off the trail, you can get hurt by different animals. When you walk in the forest, you find feces and and study it and it tells you what type of animal there is and what they eat.
When I see the feces of deer, it looked like cereal!!
we didn't no what that song was
