Hello world!

Ethan Allen Homestead

To get here from UVM you have to go basically North and then take the beltline, it is probably a 15 min drive from UVM. I chose Ethan Allen Homestead because I grew up on the Winooski river basically and I think it would be cool to look at it from an educational stand point rather than a recreational.

Smaller Vegetation

This is what you would see for lower vegetation lining the rivers edge.

This was the most common.

I went further down passed Ethan Allen a little bit because I wanted to get a wide view of what the environment down there looks like. There is so much wildlife and vegetation down here but at the same time there is a bridge which means there is constantly sound pollution from the cars. There are also a lot of people that fish along the river’s edge here.

As you can see, Ethan Allen Homestead is going through the peak of its fall foliage right now and it is a extremely beautiful place for a walk.
Across the river you can see through the buffer of trees and a field very faintly.
This is the stream that runs out to the river, as you can see it has been raining a lot lately and the stream has water running out to the river. When I was here not even a month ago this stream was bone dry.
The trees are starting to lose the majority of their leaves which is indicating a transfer from fall to winter. The lower vegetation is starting to die off and the woods are starting to open up.

Wildlife at Ethan Allen

My friend owns a bunch of land right down the river and across it, so I asked him if he could get a picture of a deer on his trail camera for me.

This is a scrape on a tree which shows that a Buck “male deer” was here at one point. They rub their antlers against the tree which takes off a layer of bark.
A beaver damn
Appears to be a Green Frog
This is a Northern Leopard frog I believe
Grey squirrel
Walleye my friends little brother caught with me in the spring.
Small mouth Bass
2 Walleye
This was the biggest walleye I caught in the Winooski river this year, weighed just shy of 10 pounds.
