The pond was hosting a wood frog, who evaded me taking a picture. I found some staghorn sumac by the bank, along with some eastern white pines in the area which i identified by their fallen cones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/eorem\/files\/2025\/04\/1745690841115-edited-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-59\" style=\"width:354px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/eorem\/files\/2025\/04\/1745690841115-edited-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/eorem\/files\/2025\/04\/1745690841115-edited-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/eorem\/files\/2025\/04\/1745690841115-edited-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/eorem\/files\/2025\/04\/1745690841115-edited-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/eorem\/files\/2025\/04\/1745690841115-edited-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/eorem\/files\/2025\/04\/1745690841115-edited-1568x2090.jpg 1568w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/eorem\/files\/2025\/04\/1745690962188-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-60\" style=\"width:352px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/eorem\/files\/2025\/04\/1745690962188-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/eorem\/files\/2025\/04\/1745690962188-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/eorem\/files\/2025\/04\/1745690962188-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/eorem\/files\/2025\/04\/1745690962188-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/eorem\/files\/2025\/04\/1745690962188-1568x2091.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/eorem\/files\/2025\/04\/1745690962188-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Further down the path I found some violet toothed polypore growing on deciduous bark, along with a sugar maple Identified off bark and what I believe to be burning bush. Using the app allowed me to check the ID of species in the field, using my knowledge as a backbone, as well as sending in pictures for Identification that I have no guesses on. I had a great time Identifying and learning species in Burlington, I was shocked how many species coming from Cape Town, South Africa. It has been amazing seeing how much citizen science and data can add up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/eorem\/files\/2025\/04\/1745692595178-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-61\" style=\"width:319px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/eorem\/files\/2025\/04\/1745692595178-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/eorem\/files\/2025\/04\/1745692595178-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/eorem\/files\/2025\/04\/1745692595178-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/eorem\/files\/2025\/04\/1745692595178-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/eorem\/files\/2025\/04\/1745692595178-1568x2091.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/eorem\/files\/2025\/04\/1745692595178-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/eorem\/files\/2025\/04\/1745695319299-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62\" style=\"width:392px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/eorem\/files\/2025\/04\/1745695319299-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/eorem\/files\/2025\/04\/1745695319299-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/eorem\/files\/2025\/04\/1745695319299-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/eorem\/files\/2025\/04\/1745695319299-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/eorem\/files\/2025\/04\/1745695319299-1568x2091.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/eorem\/files\/2025\/04\/1745695319299-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/eorem\/files\/2025\/04\/1745693562789-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-63\" style=\"width:394px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/eorem\/files\/2025\/04\/1745693562789-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/eorem\/files\/2025\/04\/1745693562789-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/eorem\/files\/2025\/04\/1745693562789-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/eorem\/files\/2025\/04\/1745693562789-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/eorem\/files\/2025\/04\/1745693562789-1568x2091.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/eorem\/files\/2025\/04\/1745693562789-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This weekend I had time to explore around campus with the iNatualist app, mainly I identified species I could ID off sight, with the help of my field guide.
