Early this afternoon as I walked down the trail to Salmon Hole, I was shocked by what I saw and quickly realized that the fishing rod that I had brought wasn’t going to be used. Because of the rain over the past couple of days I knew that the river would be larger than the last time I had visited. However, I had not expected to find most of my Phenology site underwater. I was really interested to see that the tree growth matched up with areas that were above the high water level. Just another example of a pattern formed by environmental interactions. I was also excited to see that many trees still had vibrant fall leaves. As it gets closer to winter, I’m excited to see what other changes will occur on the riverscape.
Here are some of the photos I took of my Phenology site today…
