This semester, I decided to switch my phenology place to Centennial Woods. My last place was Rock Point, and while it holds a special place in my heart, it was too time-consuming to go there every week. And Centennial Woods is beautiful. I walked through campus, and found my way by following Catamount Dr. I immediately felt transported to a winter wonderland.
But I couldn’t just admire the beauty, I had to find animal tracks! Here’s what I found:
There’s no way of telling what this is. It could be any number of woodland critters, but most likely it’s a dog. The animal tracks look dog-like in the shape of the paw, and there are human tracks next to it, suggesting that this was a dog’s afternoon walk.
Overall, I’m excited to see the range that Centennial has to show me. From dog walking to deer to any number of other wildlife interactions, I hope to keep this blog exciting and eventful!
