The season is quickly changing, but not so much at Lone Rock Point. I was surprised about how green my phenology place still is. The trees around campus are quickly losing leaves however the trees up at the edge of the rocks are still holding on to theres. This raised many questions for me. I wondering why it was because not only was it a lot winder there, but also colder. The oldest tree (Northern Red Oak) located in the center of my area still looked like it was in summer mode! I didn’t see much wildlife in my last visit compared to my first. The usual squirrels and seagulls, however other than that there wasn’t much. My first visit there were lots of finches and smaller birds and chipmunks, I even saw a fish surface.  It was also a chilly fall day, so they were probably getting ready for the snow.

Until next time,
