January 22nd update

I visited my sight right after the snow storm, making it look like a winter wonderland. Fresh snow covered all of the plants and any remaining leaves on the deciduous trees have since fallen. The river had a layer of ice on top but it was very thin due to water movement. Down the bank a little bit there was no ice because the water moves too fast for it to freeze over. I found some tracks that I believe are from a rabbit but also could be a squirrel. It was hard to tell because it snowed a little bit on top of the tracks.
