Back at groovy uv with a new update to my phenology spot! Due to the snow covering, I was able to spot some animal tracks…dog for sure, and one other mystery animal. I also found a lot of human footprints, and ski tracks. Everyone was excited to be back and participate in some winter recreational activities so the tracks make a lot of sense. Since my last update there has been quite a bit of change: the pond is currently freezing over, not completely frozen though, the trees are pretty much completely bare except for a few remaining maple leaves holding on yet covered in frost, and the shrubbery is either covered by the snow, decomposed, or weighed down by recent snowfall. It feels great being back in my spot especially at such a beautiful time, and it is exciting looking back to the pictures from a few months ago and seeing a very noticeable difference.
