Phenology in Franklin Ma

At first glance, the phenology in Franklin Massachusetts is not that different from the phenology in Burlington Vermont. Upon closer inspection many differences can be seen. The main tree species found in Franklin is American Beech with few other species. There is much more variety in Vermont tree species. The woods are also more dense at my Vermont phenology site whereas in Franklin the trees are quite spaced out. There is more evidence of wildlife at the Vermont site although that is most likely due to location. The wildlife signs that are visible in Massachusetts are similar to those in Vermont with little to no species variation that I could see. There were few signs of birds so I could not determine any differences in bird species between Massachusetts and Vermont. Spring is right right around the corner but it isn’t quite close enough for wildlife to come out again.
