Phenology Assignment
After being away for over a month from the Salmon Hole, a few changes were very apparent. The first and most obvious change was the snow. Vermont finally received a few inches of snow, and it covered the ground and trees. Another change was the evidence of animal life and habitat, because there hadn’t been snow last time, I wasn’t able to see the tracks from the animals. Another change was the flow of the river, it has slowed down a lot more since I had last been there, perhaps the ice and snow were slowing it down to an extent. Lastly, it was much colder than I had expected it to be, although the sun was shining, it was still a chilly 23 degrees Fahrenheit.
