Last weekend I was able to spend some time in my phenology spot in Centennial Woods. On the way, I noticed several birds on the telephone wires just outside the entrance to the trails. Upon arrival to my spot, I noticed a hole in one of the trunks (pictured below!). After doing some research, I would hypothesize it might be the work of a pileated woodpecker which are common in Vermont. I also noticed some moss still alive on the trunks surviving off the moist surface coated in snow and the sun (by photosynthesizing). Not much has changed in the spot otherwise- there are still some berries visible, although most of the understory left alive in December is now dead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also was able to find some tracks and scat. I&#8217;m fairly certain the scat was from a medium size dog, but the animal tracks were still a little challenging to identify. Due to the snowfall while I was there\/on the way, some of the toe prints weren&#8217;t super clear. I would guess squirrel for the one in the middle below based on visible toe shape and size, and I thought the spacing on the ones in the bottom left picture suggest those might be rabbit tracks. Overall, a cool (and cold) visit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul
