I. Today I saw a bald eagle flying over the observation area for a while and then it left.  After lots of time in the observation site I have predicted a realistic food web that shows the transfer of energy.  It starts with the producers that photosynthesise and get energy in that matter, the antelope bitter brushes, the grasses and the trees are the main producers.  Then primary consumers such as the birds, geese, and moose, get energy by eating the producers.  Secondary consumers, like spiders, eat primary consumers, like insects such as bees, to continue the flow of energy.  The bald eagle would be the tertiary consumer in this web that eats fish, other birds, as well as secondary consumers.  Decomposers, like bacteria and fungi, then break down the dead and give nutrients to the plants, continuing the never ending cycle of energy that the ecosystem has.
