Visiting my Phenology place again, it looks very different from just a few weeks ago. At this point 100% of the ground is covered in leaves, where earlier the ground cover was closer to 50%. The canopy is very sparce with only a few of the eastern red oaks, shagbark hickory and sugar maple still have a handful of leaves left, with the white pines and buckthorn retaining their vegetation. Its easier to see now that the leaves have fallen, the majority of the saplings in the stand are sugar maple.


For my birds eye map I decided to center it on the fallen tree fort, I noted stands and individual trees within the area from a top perspective.
