These include now having snow on the ground, less birds and squirrels visible, and generally colder temperatures. These changes are all characteristic and expected for this time of the winter. Having all this snow on the ground makes tracking animals relatively easy because their tracks appear obviously in the snow. I observed many old and new grey squirrel tracks all over the forest, as well as what was either a fox or coyote. Other signs of animals included quiet bird chirping of the birds that are still around, such as the Black-capped Chickadee and American Crow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mbernat\/files\/2021\/02\/PXL_20210206_214735113-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-60\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mbernat\/files\/2021\/02\/PXL_20210206_214735113-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mbernat\/files\/2021\/02\/PXL_20210206_214735113-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mbernat\/files\/2021\/02\/PXL_20210206_214735113-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mbernat\/files\/2021\/02\/PXL_20210206_214735113-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mbernat\/files\/2021\/02\/PXL_20210206_214735113-1568x2091.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mbernat\/files\/2021\/02\/PXL_20210206_214735113-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>Potential fox or coyote tracks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mbernat\/files\/2021\/02\/PXL_20210206_214728345-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-61\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mbernat\/files\/2021\/02\/PXL_20210206_214728345-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mbernat\/files\/2021\/02\/PXL_20210206_214728345-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mbernat\/files\/2021\/02\/PXL_20210206_214728345-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mbernat\/files\/2021\/02\/PXL_20210206_214728345-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mbernat\/files\/2021\/02\/PXL_20210206_214728345-1568x2091.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mbernat\/files\/2021\/02\/PXL_20210206_214728345-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>Same track as first picture<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mbernat\/files\/2021\/02\/PXL_20210206_212619169-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62\" width=\"580\" height=\"435\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mbernat\/files\/2021\/02\/PXL_20210206_212619169-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mbernat\/files\/2021\/02\/PXL_20210206_212619169-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mbernat\/files\/2021\/02\/PXL_20210206_212619169-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mbernat\/files\/2021\/02\/PXL_20210206_212619169-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mbernat\/files\/2021\/02\/PXL_20210206_212619169-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mbernat\/files\/2021\/02\/PXL_20210206_212619169-1568x1176.jpg 1568w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><figcaption>A potential burrowing hole <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mbernat\/files\/2021\/02\/PXL_20210206_212859717-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-63\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mbernat\/files\/2021\/02\/PXL_20210206_212859717-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mbernat\/files\/2021\/02\/PXL_20210206_212859717-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mbernat\/files\/2021\/02\/PXL_20210206_212859717-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mbernat\/files\/2021\/02\/PXL_20210206_212859717-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mbernat\/files\/2021\/02\/PXL_20210206_212859717-1568x2091.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mbernat\/files\/2021\/02\/PXL_20210206_212859717-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>Slightly older squirrel tracks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are a few main phenological changes which occurred at Arms Forest from November until now.
