I chose to broaden my range for my phenology spot which will allow me to discover and analyze much more than last semester! I began at the entrance to Centennial Woods on Spear Street up until the hemlock stand (approx. a 5-10 minute walk)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout my journey, I encountered a winter wonderland compared to my previous visits. The trees were frosted over and brushed with snow, as the ground was icy and crunchy when I took each step. Due to the snow, I was also able to encounter many animal tracks on the ground &#8211; something that I had a hard time finding in the warmer seasons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"6\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/claforte-13\/files\/2022\/02\/IMG-6576-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6\" width=\"384\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/claforte-13\/files\/2022\/02\/IMG-6576-768x1025.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/claforte-13\/files\/2022\/02\/IMG-6576-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/claforte-13\/files\/2022\/02\/IMG-6576.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px\" \/><figcaption>Raccoon Tracks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"32\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/claforte-13\/files\/2022\/05\/tracks.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/claforte-13\/files\/2022\/05\/tracks.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/claforte-13\/files\/2022\/05\/tracks-225x300.jpeg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>Raccoon Tracks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Through the usage of iNaturalist, I was able to confidently identity the tracks that I came across and can assume that the tracks shown above belong to a local raccoon in Burlington, VT.
