We walked to the lake to observe the phenology and I was surprised that it was incredibly different! Firstly, the non-coniferous trees still had leaves; no stick season in Virginia! The shrubbery, while dead and dry, was still clinging. There was a different composition of trees, the dominant species was Northern Red Oak, and there were few maples, whereas in Vermont you can&#8217;t go two steps without seeing a maple. There were also a few ducks, I think Ring-Necked ducks, which I haven&#8217;t seen before; usually it was Mallards or the pair of swans that were the focus of my friend&#8217;s photography project last year. Additionally, the lake was frozen 3 inches deep, which usually doesn&#8217;t happen. However, by the time we were leaving, the ice had begun to melt. I assume that when the temperatures dip at night and the sun isn&#8217;t out, the lake begins to freeze, but then it unfreezes every morning. When I come back for Winter break, I plan to see how much more it&#8217;s frozen! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2570\u2508\u27a4My friend, who did a project on the lake for a class in high school, commented that the lake was extremely impaired due to proximity to the school and the town, which reminded me of my phenology spot in Vermont. She also said that the lake is on track to become a bog, which is a natural process but is not helped by the previous factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"634\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/kegordon\/files\/2022\/11\/image-1024x634.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-59\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/kegordon\/files\/2022\/11\/image-1024x634.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/kegordon\/files\/2022\/11\/image-300x186.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/kegordon\/files\/2022\/11\/image-768x476.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/kegordon\/files\/2022\/11\/image-1536x951.png 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/kegordon\/files\/2022\/11\/image.png 2028w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The blue area indicates the lake <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/kegordon\/files\/2022\/11\/IMG_1774-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-60\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/kegordon\/files\/2022\/11\/IMG_1774-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/kegordon\/files\/2022\/11\/IMG_1774-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/kegordon\/files\/2022\/11\/IMG_1774-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/kegordon\/files\/2022\/11\/IMG_1774-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/kegordon\/files\/2022\/11\/IMG_1774-1-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">-\u02cb\u02cf \u0f3b\u2741\u0f3a \u02ce\u02ca-<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>November 23, 2022 Blog Post #3 \ufe35\u203f\ufe35\u203f\u0b68\u2661\u0b67\u203f\ufe35\u203f\ufe35 \u2729 Phenology Spot In Warrenton, VA \u2729 \u2570\u2508\u27a4 Today, me and my friends walked to the woods behind our school where we spent a lot of our teenage hooligan years.
