I have not visited my phenology site for quite some time and there were many changes. The first and most obvious is the snow. Last time I visited, the trees still had some colorful leaves and the grass was still green. Now, the grass is covered in snow and the trees branches are bare.
It was difficult to tell what wildlife was at my site. There were many human tracks and the tracks that seemed to be from wildlife were covered with a new layer of snow, making it impossible to tell what kind of tracks they were. If I had visited my site after a fresh snow fall, then identifying animal tracks would have been much easier.
Most of the trees were bare which makes it harder to identify them. Although, I saw an Eastern White Pine, a Sugar Maple, a Yellow Birch, and a Box Elder.
