Here I found what seem to be either deer tracks or tracks from some other animal trekking through the woods. It is difficult to tell what animal the tracks come from, as snow was freshly falling as I was walking through the woods and the tracks were starting to become covered.Same animal tracksOn some of the trees around my phenology site were these cocoons that most likely contained insects.The most noticeable difference between my site this week and the last time that I visited in December is the amount of snow. Now in late January, there is much more snow on the ground that has accumulated. Other than that, the site looks pretty similar with some animal tracks through the snow and the same trees and plants.
