I did not see much evidence of animal activity at my site. I heard a few birds and saw one squirrel. The most active animals I saw were dogs out for walks, not animals that inhabit the area. Since I have not seen much animal activity during any of my visits, I wouldn’t say that the activity has decreased.
What aspects of your phenology place do you enjoy the most?
I enjoy my phenology place for a lot of the same things I wrote about when asked why I chose it. I love how far I can see over the field of grassy and woody stem plants. I also love how much variety it has. There is the clearing, field area on one side of the trail, forest on one side, an area with fallen trees and young ones, and a stream. It is not very uniform, so there are a variety of changes for me to see over the months. I also really enjoy the walk to get there, because I have to cross the stream a few times and it is very fun and relaxing.
