Today when I when to visit my phenology spot, it was different. I was excited to see the place I hadn’t seen for a few months and observe the differences, and also enjoy the solidarity it provided.

This image shows the snow cover and amount of grass that can be used by the forest dwellers. Upon walking around my site, I was able to find some animal tracks.

These tracks that I found appear to be those of a galloper and what I believe to be a squirrel living somewhere near the up rooted tree in my site. The snow already over the tracks made it difficult to determine whether the tracks were that of a bounder or a galloper.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The next pair of tracks that I found were both on the ice of the frozen river and in the long grasses of a previous wetland. They appear to belong to a red fox.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I went to my lab unprepared and didn’t completely look over the requirements needed for this addition to the blog, so I failed to take pictures of twigs and identify them. I will be sure to do this during my next visit, which I plan on doing before the next assignment is due.
