On a chilly Saturday in late January, I once again hiked down to my spot snuggled in Centennial Woods. While it hasn’t snowed in days, the woods were still covered in snow and mostly ice. When first approaching my site, I didn’t even recognize it because of how different it looked all frozen over. The leaves, of course, were all gone and the trees were sticks. The stream had completely frozen over besides being a little slushy where some humans/dogs might have gone down and walked on it.
The snow completely transformed my site. It took the dead stick trees and turned them into a wintery wonderland. Besides that, it looked like it had in November, just now covered in ice and looking like it has endured the first couple of months of winter.
I looked for signs of animals, but the only thing I have to report is a possible bird track. (see below) I am not super sure what this could be, but it was just off the path right next to the stream.
Besides that, I didn’t see much evidence of animals. Lots of human and dog prints, but nothing else notable. Until the next time Centennial!
