The forest floor here at the Winooski River by Salmon Hole has yet to start sprouting flowers and most vegetation is covered in mud from all of the flooding. I did however notice some small growth in certain areas; grass poking through leaf litter and mud, small cluster of ferns emerging through leaf litter, and bamboo like weeds scatter throughout the hill leading down to the water.
On the muddy area underneath the main trees at my phenology spot, there was a significant littering of flower buds.
These tree droppings seem to be attracting quite the crowd. In this visit I saw at least 7 different individual female robins, 4 sets of raccoon tracks, a few mink tracks, a turkey vulture, and a male and female hawk. The larger birds are most likely here because of the smaller rodents and amphibians that are participating in migration or coming out of hibernation.
