To participate in the iNaturalist project, I further explored the woods that my phenology site is located in, near trinity campus. These woods are really close to the Winooski River. At the time that I went, there was barely any snow on the ground and all the mud was frozen solid, so finding tracks was difficult and proved to be unsuccessful. I did find some small grazing marks at the bottom of a small maple tree. I think they came from a squirrel or another type of small rodent. I also heard the calls of several crows and a chickadee, which I was not able to spot.
