My new Phenological site was spending time throughout my neighborhood, especially in wooded trail areas that included the Audubon Society and Rock Creek Park. Both of these places are located very close to me and provide access to observing the phenological changes. Although in the map there is a lot of green depicted, the trees were bare, I solely needed a representation on the map. There was no snow present, trees did not have leaves, and a strong wind was present breaking many fragile branches off. Some of the bird species I identified included American Robin, Northern Cardinal, and Downy Woodpecker. The tree species identified included Birch, Bamboo, and Oak.
