Unfortunately, as we&#8217;ve had warmer weather recently, much of the snow has melted so finding tracks was quite difficult. The only good print I could find was a domestic dog track (found right off of the main trail), so I kept searching. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bdittman\/files\/2023\/02\/tempImagekhmlPP-900x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51\" width=\"450\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bdittman\/files\/2023\/02\/tempImagekhmlPP-900x1024.jpg 900w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bdittman\/files\/2023\/02\/tempImagekhmlPP-264x300.jpg 264w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bdittman\/files\/2023\/02\/tempImagekhmlPP-768x874.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bdittman\/files\/2023\/02\/tempImagekhmlPP-1350x1536.jpg 1350w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bdittman\/files\/2023\/02\/tempImagekhmlPP-1800x2048.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bdittman\/files\/2023\/02\/tempImagekhmlPP-1568x1784.jpg 1568w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">dog tracks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>As I kept walking, I started to hear birds chirping nearby. I found an area with lots of fallen trees and sticks and noticed motion in this area. I saw a small bird, which I have now determined to be a black-capped chickadee, jumping from branch to branch. At the time, I thought this bird looked familiar, but I did not know its name. Once I returned back to my dorm I looked up common bird species in Vermont and this was the first one to come up; I assume this chickadee must be very common! <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bdittman\/files\/2023\/02\/IMG_0129-771x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-52\" width=\"386\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bdittman\/files\/2023\/02\/IMG_0129-771x1024.jpg 771w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bdittman\/files\/2023\/02\/IMG_0129-226x300.jpg 226w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bdittman\/files\/2023\/02\/IMG_0129-768x1020.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bdittman\/files\/2023\/02\/IMG_0129-1156x1536.jpg 1156w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bdittman\/files\/2023\/02\/IMG_0129.jpg 1284w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 386px) 100vw, 386px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Black-capped chickadee hidden behind branches<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week, I returned to the same phenology spot I visited in my last post, but with a different goal.
