I visited my phenology place for the last time on 12/7.
There was snow on the ground and there were many changes since last time I visited. The trees around my phenology spot were bare and the only green trees were pines.
All of the leaf litter on the ground was frozen and there was still some in the stream caught in piles.
There were little berries left on the bushes. I did see some track on a log near my phenology spot that I think may be a mouse. I am not completely confident in this.
Overall I think the wildlife that is visible has decreased. I heard little to no birds chirping and all of the other animals were clearly not visible.
