 * Day 2**


 * Observations**

-High tide -Most of the rocks are submerged -Very murky -Because it is high tide many fish have come up and moved from deeper area to a shallow canal -No birds scavengering -Cannot see much life in the water because it is murky the only place you can see life is in the shallow canal -One bird finally has come, it is standing on a rock about 25 meters out -The bird does not seem to be very active, I think it is just resting because it looks to deep for it to hunt or scavenger -Not too much to observe because water is really murky


 * Inferences**

-Because more fish have moved to the shallow canal this shows that they are trying to stay away from the bigger fish which are probably their predators -There are no birds because it is too deep for them to scavenger -Because the water is murky mud from the mountains and fresh water are probably coming down the little canal


 * Questions**

-Are the rocks used as homes to the fish? -Do the rocks form a barrier which protects them from larger fish predators? -Does the tide affect where the fish spend their time? -When it get more high tide, does it influence the fish to go to more shallow areas to stay away from predators?


 * Assigned Journal Entry** **#2**

I could see predator prey relations ships between birds and the baby fish when it is low tide. During low tide I see a couple birds scavegering in the shallow water. During high tide I think that there is predator prey relations between the baby fish and the bigger fish that I see come in when it is higher tide. Also I think that there is some competition between some of the baby fish and some of the bigger fish that come in during high tide for food. I think this because I saw some little fish swimming violently away from the bigger fish, i'm not sure if it was because they were competing for food or the bigger fish may have been hunting the baby fish.
