This semester, I decided to choose a new location for my phenology spot, and I decided on a small clearing in Centennial Woods. You can get to centennial from my dorm by first walking to the University Heights Bus stop, then continuing straight down that sidewalk, turning left, going straight, and then making a final right once across from the police station. Once at the entrance to Centennial, you simply have to follow the path until you reach the small clearing.
In terms of animal activity, I saw the same kind of track in a few areas. I was unable to identify what kind of animal had left these tracks, and they were a few feet from the trail.

About three feet away from the small clearing I was standing in, there was a squirrel’s nest in a tree. Squirrels rely on these nests during the winter in order to keep warm and sheltered from the harsh winter temperatures and snow.
