Given spring semester, though sounding warm and pretty, is very cold, I decided to move my phenology site from Rock Point to a much closer one. Immediately upon arrival at UVM last weekend, I walked over to the golf course to go sledding with some friends. To get there I leave my dorm building, take an immediate right, and just walk straight past the parking lot and through the woods until arriving at the gold course. I didn’t think it was necessary to map given its small size. It was this small patch of woods separating the parking lot and golf course that I chose as my new phenology site. As you’ll see in the pictures I took there, it is obvious large amounts of wildlife live in the area and pass through the site. Bottoms of trees were clawed at, narrow woodpecker holes were scattered along trees, along with the plenty of nests clearly visible from ground level.
