Recently with the changes in weather I have been spending more time outside, enjoying the local nature, and last Saturday I decided to take a trip down to Rock point.
The conditions during this trip was pretty normal for spring, 60 , cloudy and rainy–perfect for observing the manny changes taking place in the environment. On the hike i observed several different species of birds including the American robin, Cardinal, and, and Hermit thrush. I also saw a juvenile Fisher who was playfully jumping around on a collection of rocks. It seemed that the fisher ,like me was also enjoying the nice weather that day.
As for the plant life at rock point, The changes seemed more subtle. I think the place I visited in Rock point is a limestone cedar bluff , which was mainly made of eastern white cedar trees. Because these trees are evergreens they do not go through the full process of leafing in the spring as they keep their foliage year round. I do think that the trees definitely looked greener, which would make sense as they are beginning to photosynthesis again with the coming of spring.
