This semester I decided to change my phenology site to Centennial Woods. I loved the time I spent at Potash Brook, however I was looking for a change in scenery this year!

My trip to Centennial Woods was a snowy one. With fresh powder on the ground I managed to find one snow mystery (see below). As I wondered around Centennial I saw many changes occurring on the landscape. I found Hen of the Woods mushrooms that were freezing and beginning to fossilize, and an invasive species I was unable to identify taking over a cluster of new tree growth. I also spotted some American Robins in a crab apple tree on my walk to Centennial. The changes occurring here are beautiful and I can not wait to see what else enfolds while I visit this new site!
