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 &#8220;Final Post Semester 1&#8221;. 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"485\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"47\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/epkelley\/files\/2023\/01\/20230130_123310-485x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/epkelley\/files\/2023\/01\/20230130_123310-485x1024.jpg 485w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/epkelley\/files\/2023\/01\/20230130_123310-142x300.jpg 142w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/epkelley\/files\/2023\/01\/20230130_123310-768x1623.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/epkelley\/files\/2023\/01\/20230130_123310-727x1536.jpg 727w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/epkelley\/files\/2023\/01\/20230130_123310-969x2048.jpg 969w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/epkelley\/files\/2023\/01\/20230130_123310-1568x3314.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/epkelley\/files\/2023\/01\/20230130_123310-scaled.jpg 1211w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 485px) 100vw, 485px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Red Squirrel Tracks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"485\" data-id=\"48\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/epkelley\/files\/2023\/01\/20230130_123544-1024x485.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/epkelley\/files\/2023\/01\/20230130_123544-1024x485.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/epkelley\/files\/2023\/01\/20230130_123544-300x142.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/epkelley\/files\/2023\/01\/20230130_123544-768x363.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/epkelley\/files\/2023\/01\/20230130_123544-1536x727.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/epkelley\/files\/2023\/01\/20230130_123544-2048x969.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/epkelley\/files\/2023\/01\/20230130_123544-1568x742.jpg 1568w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Rabbit Tracks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"485\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"49\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/epkelley\/files\/2023\/01\/20230130_123557-485x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-49\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/epkelley\/files\/2023\/01\/20230130_123557-485x1024.jpg 485w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/epkelley\/files\/2023\/01\/20230130_123557-142x300.jpg 142w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/epkelley\/files\/2023\/01\/20230130_123557-768x1623.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/epkelley\/files\/2023\/01\/20230130_123557-727x1536.jpg 727w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/epkelley\/files\/2023\/01\/20230130_123557-969x2048.jpg 969w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/epkelley\/files\/2023\/01\/20230130_123557-1568x3314.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/epkelley\/files\/2023\/01\/20230130_123557-scaled.jpg 1211w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 485px) 100vw, 485px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Rabbit Skat <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>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&#8217;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. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On my most recent trip to my sight I went on Sunday, January 29th just after noon.
