On my most recent trip to my sight I went on Sunday, January 29th just after noon. When there I saw very few animal tracks outside of domestic dogs on the trails. I did happen to see some small squirrel track though, presumably that belong to the red squirrel that I spotted in my last post, titled “Final Post Semester 1”. Other than the squirrel tracks there was little to no wildlife activity in my spot. This lack of animal disturbances seems to be a trend in my spot as I have seen very little animal sign through my time here. On the way into my spot, on the side of the trail in the bushes, I did happen to spot what I believe to be rabbit tracks and skat. The tracks were under some brush, which is characteristic of rabbit activity. The tracks were a little small but that could also be attributed to a younger rabbit.
My spot has changed very little since the last time I have visited with the exception of lots more snow. The last time I sat there was little to no snow and now there is snow everywhere. The ground was entirely white, the hemlock trees had a good bit of snow on them, though it wasn’t much. There was almost no brown at my spot outside of large woody plants. There were almost no other changes. It was a lot colder out than the last time I visited and it started to rain/snow on my way back. Overall it was good to be back at my spot and making observations and just enjoying the outdoors.
