This week, I continued my phenology blog at my spot in centennial!  It is the middle of winter now, so there is lots of old snow on the ground and a little bit of animal activity.  It is a little tough for tree identification, but the twigs help out a little bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a picture of my site in centennial woods. Notice all of the snow on the ground, and all of the human footprints.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I think that these are old tracks from a grey squirrel, that have caved in and gotten bigger over time. These tracks are made by a galloper, and are obviously not new tracks. They could also be from a cottontail rabbit, I am not really sure.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
I think these tracks could be white tailed deer tracks. I think that this animal is a diagonal walker, and the tracks looked like they were hooves, but too small to be a moose. Also, are there even moose in centennial woods?<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
I think that this is a sugar maple. It has opposite branching with brown buds and brown twigs.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
I think this is a red maple because of the opposite branching and the reddish colored twig, however I am not too sure about this one.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
