11/5/18 Phenology Blog and Poem

This weeks visit to my phenology spot wasn’t too different from last weeks, only much grayer and wetter. The constant rain over the last few weeks has worked to remove most of the leaves from the deciduous trees, leaving sparse branches of mostly brown leaves. The conifers, though they are few, stand tall with all their pines. There were still no signs of any animal other than squirrels and chipmunks. I’m not one for poetry, however I feel that because I took pictures during my last visit, something new is warranted, so I’ve prepared a haiku:

Mud paths mark the way.

Leaves fall with the wind and rain.

Nothing but rodents.
