I decided I would go back to Rock Point for my INaturalist project, since it was my phenology spot last semester and I enjoy walking around there. I went on a relatively warm day compared to the ones before it, so most of the snow had melted and the ground was incredibly muddy and moist. I also noticed that a small river had been formed from the melting snow leading down towards Lake Champlain. I even took a photo of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was cool to see naturally flowing water making its way into the lake and let me see the many ways Lake Champlain gets supplied with water. Alongside this, I witnessed many other natural phenomena that I recorded with INaturalist. Here are a few of the photos I took:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I identified this berry as a type of gooseberry. I noticed the alternate branching as well as the striking feature of the branches themselves have thorns on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I stumbled upon this burrow while walking on one of the Rock Point trails. There weren’t any tracks around the burrow to help me identify what made the hole, but I am led to believe it could be a fisher or a groundhog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This track I spotted I am torn between whether it could be a white-tailed deer or a moose track. The track itself was around 4 inches, which leads me to believe it is a moose track, but I am unsure since moose being around Vermont are on the rare side. Overall, it is probably a white-tailed deer, but because of the overall size of the track itself, it could be a rare moose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
