Although there weren’t any new plants growing due to the winter season, the trees and plants that had endured were primarily fir trees!
Sadly due to the amount of foliage uncovered by snow and the rise in temperature within the last week, any tracks that could have been found were now gone with the snow.
Even though the phenology of the surrounding area hadn’t changed significantly, there were still signs of more trees, branches, twigs, and other understory trees either having fallen or shifted around due to the weather.
Even with that said I found it very interesting how after the snow melted, the phenology of the area looked almost the same as the fall time! With the extra patches of snow lying around here and there.
