A UVM blog Phenology Spot

Blog #8

During the BioBlitz challenge the two Burlington areas I was able to explore were Rock Point and Centennial woods. Both areas had multiple signs of wildlife and phenological changes. Using iNaturalist was a little difficult to understand at first, but once I got the hang of it I was able to identify a wide range of organisms. Some of the species I encounter were black locusts (tree), red fox, and a baltimore oriole. Overall I believe I encountered 11 species in total which was awesome to see. Some of them I had not heard of before which strengthened my identification skills. Postings from other cities were interesting. Globally the wildlife was a lot more different than Burlington’s, which was fun to compare and contrast between the different communities.
