My return to my phenology site was pretty similar to the last time I had been here in the fall semester. It was approximately 30°F outside and there were cloudy and windy conditions. Though the area surrounding Centennial Woods had lost most of its snow due to the recent rain, the woods still had a fair amount of snow covering the ground. It was very icy due to the rain as well, the entire trail was covered in hard-packed snow and ice which made my trip to my site very slow-going.
The majority of the tracks I saw at my site were human boot prints as shown to the left, tracks were also harder to find as most of the ground was covered in ice, which is more difficult to make an impression on.
However, by the bunker wall there were small tracks that looked like they may have belonged to a rabbit as all four prints seemed to have been moving in unison in a hopping motion.
The most distinct prints were that of the dogs that were taken for walks in the woods.
Phenology-wise, not much has changed. There are still no leaves on the trees and the underbrush mostly appears to be dead. The ground is more hard packed with ice, but the nearby stream was still free-flowing.
