  1. It’s early morning, We are leaving the rocky coast of MAINE

  2. Grab your souvenirs and let’s go!

  3. MICHIGAN or BUST Next stop, upper peninsula of Michigan

  4. A quick stop at Niagara Falls Back on the bus!

  5. There was a small commotion on the bus as one of the students feet were itching! Turns out he had a terrible case of Athlete’s foot This is an example of PARASTISM: The fungus lives happily in the warm, moist environment of the toes, but it causes harm (and embarrassment) to the host

  6. As the bus driver said, at least it wasn’t a parasite like a tape worm! Our teacher took this opportunity to teach us about other Symbiotic Relationships. Mutualism: both species live together, both benefit Ex: E. coli bacteria living in the intestines of humans Lichen: a fungus and algae living together Commensalism: One benefits, one organism is not affected Ex: Barnacles on a whale

  10. BLUE SPRUCE

  11. Aspen Tree

  12. GREAT GRAY OWL PREDATOR

  13. SHREW Snowshoe hare

  14. What a beautiful SNOWY OWL

  15. Ewe The Snowy Owl will eat road kill That means that it is a SCAVENGER

  16. We just spotted a Ruffled Grouse How do they stay warm in the winter? They burrow in the snow. Air temperature can be 27, but 7 inches under the snow the temperature will be at 24. Also they grow scale-like fringes on the sides of their feet that act like snow shoes.

  17. Quiet! Do You hear something???

  18. It’s a Yellow Bellied Sap Sucker SAP It eats both plant material (sap) And animals (ants) So it’s an OMNIVORE • A widespread species of small woodpecker. • Makes shallow holes in trees to get sap • Other bird species use these holes. • Because of this, the sapsucker can be considered a "keystone" species, one whose existence is vital for the maintenance of a community.

  19. Dear Mom and Dad, We are having a great time on our cross country Bio-ecology trip! We have seen different environments and have been able to identify abiotic and biotic factors. I love biology! Tomorrow we are going to Wyoming. I am bringing home great souvenirs. Mom and Dad 24 Harry L Drive Johnson City, NY 13790
