Phenology post #2

Last Thursday my friend and I took a long walk to Rock Point. It was very warm out for February so the walk was a comfortable temperature. I encountered some tracks that I expected to see like domestic dog and squirrel. I found deer scar and signs of deer feeding on Sumac berries. It took only a few steps off trail to find the first signs of deer. I didn’t use my book to identify this as I have had enough experience with deer in my life to identify it’s recognizable scat. Deer scar is simile to rabbit scat but I could tell the difference due to the large amount and the presence of sumac which only deer are tall enough to eat.

Overall, I liked using INaturalist. This wasn’t complicated because I have used it many times before.
