However, the grasses were very flattened down and frozen to the ground. While sitting in my spot, I spotted an Eastern grey squirrel. I also noticed a woody species with red berries that I do not think I had noticed previously in my phenology spot. After doing a bit of research, I have identified it to be some type of hawthorn. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jfiguero-\/files\/2022\/12\/IMG_6166-540x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41\" width=\"272\" height=\"516\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jfiguero-\/files\/2022\/12\/IMG_6166-540x1024.jpg 540w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jfiguero-\/files\/2022\/12\/IMG_6166-158x300.jpg 158w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jfiguero-\/files\/2022\/12\/IMG_6166-768x1457.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jfiguero-\/files\/2022\/12\/IMG_6166-810x1536.jpg 810w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jfiguero-\/files\/2022\/12\/IMG_6166-1079x2048.jpg 1079w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jfiguero-\/files\/2022\/12\/IMG_6166.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 272px) 100vw, 272px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Bright red hawthorn berries contrasting against the brown trees and shrubs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jfiguero-\/files\/2022\/12\/Screen-Shot-2022-12-10-at-8.14.48-PM-779x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42\" width=\"373\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jfiguero-\/files\/2022\/12\/Screen-Shot-2022-12-10-at-8.14.48-PM-779x1024.png 779w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jfiguero-\/files\/2022\/12\/Screen-Shot-2022-12-10-at-8.14.48-PM-228x300.png 228w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jfiguero-\/files\/2022\/12\/Screen-Shot-2022-12-10-at-8.14.48-PM-768x1009.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jfiguero-\/files\/2022\/12\/Screen-Shot-2022-12-10-at-8.14.48-PM.png 1026w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 373px) 100vw, 373px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">See if you can spot the hawthorn wrapping around the tree in the center!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Reflecting back on the beginning of the project, I was not overly excited to participate in it. However, as I continued visiting my phenology spot and seeing the changes take place over time I truly began enjoying the project. I like that I have a special place in Centennial Woods that I feel is my own for the next four years at UVM. My favorite aspect of my phenology spot definitely have to be the brook. I especially like when bubbles form in the brook and look like little fluffy clouds in the water. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jfiguero-\/files\/2022\/12\/Screen-Shot-2022-12-10-at-8.20.37-PM-830x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-43\" width=\"349\" height=\"430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jfiguero-\/files\/2022\/12\/Screen-Shot-2022-12-10-at-8.20.37-PM-830x1024.png 830w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jfiguero-\/files\/2022\/12\/Screen-Shot-2022-12-10-at-8.20.37-PM-243x300.png 243w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jfiguero-\/files\/2022\/12\/Screen-Shot-2022-12-10-at-8.20.37-PM-768x947.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jfiguero-\/files\/2022\/12\/Screen-Shot-2022-12-10-at-8.20.37-PM.png 978w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 349px) 100vw, 349px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Bubbles in the brook!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Overall, I truly enjoyed this project and look forward to visiting my spot again in the spring to continue watching the changes the warmer weather will bring!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jfiguero-\/files\/2022\/12\/Screen-Shot-2022-12-10-at-8.22.25-PM-783x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-44\" width=\"405\" height=\"529\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jfiguero-\/files\/2022\/12\/Screen-Shot-2022-12-10-at-8.22.25-PM-783x1024.png 783w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jfiguero-\/files\/2022\/12\/Screen-Shot-2022-12-10-at-8.22.25-PM-229x300.png 229w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jfiguero-\/files\/2022\/12\/Screen-Shot-2022-12-10-at-8.22.25-PM-768x1004.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jfiguero-\/files\/2022\/12\/Screen-Shot-2022-12-10-at-8.22.25-PM.png 1022w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 405px) 100vw, 405px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Until next time, Centennial Woods!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Winter is certainly on its way in Centennial Woods!
