Hi everybody, this is my Phenology Blog!
My Phenology spot is along the Winooski River near Salmon Hole. In order to get there, you walk down Colchester Ave until you get to the intersection, then you turn left and you should see the sign for Salmon Hole.
I chose a spot along the river because I’ve always had a connection to water. I’d also like to see how the river changes throughout the seasons. I chose this spot in particular because there was a very cool man-made log fort right next to it. There was also a beaver lodge right below me, and I’m really hoping that I will be able to see a beaver when I am there.
Most of the trees in that area were boxelder maples, but I also noticed some American Beech. There were quite a few logs and sticks on the ground, all without bark, which was another sign of beaver activity.
