Visiting a Friends Phenology Site

I was lucky enough to visit a friends phenology site, which happened to also be in Centennial Woods. However, it was well past my site and was a very different type of habitat. The site was a small pond in a wetland area that had a bridge to cross over the water. There were also many species of plants that I did not expect to see like cattails and phragmites. I expected to see similar species that I had observed in my area, yet there was a large contrast between the two sites despite both being located in Centennial Woods. When I visited the water had frozen over, in addition to snow piling up on the frozen waterway. The vegetation was fairly bare, looks like sticks poking out of the water. Finally, there were footprints in the snow from individuals who walked on the bridge and the path nearby.
