Red Rocks 4/18/21: Changing seasons!

Today’s spring view from the entrance of Rock Point Park!

Since my last visit to Rock Point, the general phenology has become much more spring like, with the snow cover disappearing entirely and being replaced with the cover of fallen leaves, sprouting couch grass, and exposed moss.

Another example of sprouting plants after winter, this is a geranium at the foot of a sugar maple tree.

Along the main trail I spotted what I believe to be squirrel trails, with partially eaten acorns alongside them. However, it was hard to tell due to the main trail being heavily packed and the off trail being covered in dead maple and oak leaves.

Lastly, here is a basic species interaction diagram I made with several of the species I have spotted throughout my visits to Red Rock Park.
