I would identify my phenology site as a Hemlock- Northern Hardwood- forest. It can be identified by the tree species in the area. it is mainly red maple, and Hemlock trees with some beach trees scattered around. The site could also be classified as a partial wetland because it has a stream running through the middle of it. The soil surrounding the stream is always muddy and provides habitat for multiple species that prefer wetlands.

A lot of phenological changes have occurred since the first visit to my site. There are fewer signs of animals; not very many fresh tracks and less species variety. All the deciduous trees have shed their leaves, leaving the coniferous trees the only spot of color. The stream has frozen over completely, no more spots of open ice or running water. It is no longer possible to see any signs of aquatic life in the stream.
