Since the last visit to salmon hole the last of the foliage has fallen. For the most part there is no persistent understory vegetation, except for a few remaining red berries on a couple of oriental bittersweet bushes.
the day before visited my location received a few additional inches of snow, further hiding the leaf litter bellow. The snow did however reveal an animals tracks through my site. The footprints and track pattern makes me think that these tracks were left by a snowshoe hare. Aside from the hare’s track I didn’t noticed any other signs of animal activity.
