February 4th Update

I have selected a new site for this semester. To get to my site, after getting off the on-campus bus you follow the path behind mercy and before Richardson, and you must make a right when you see a trail which opens up to the woods. I noted a variety of tracks. This picture shows tracks which I identified to be a gray squirrel from the paw size and galloping pattern.
I also identified a bounder which seemed to be a weasel based on the size and shape of prints.
I identified this sugar maple branch, and saw many others like it.
This seems to be a black oak or red maple.
I believe this is a beech branch.
