The cold snap Burlington has been going through has come to an end; the sun was out and the temperature was a comfortable 25 degrees. The rise and temperature and the sun lead the snowpack to firm up a little bit, making the trail quite slippery. When I got to my place I found it very challenging to find animal tracks due to the dominant presence of human footsteps. As I was examining my area a dog walker passed, causing me to further doubt the presence of wild animal tracks. Despite this, I do believe I did find a set of tracks although I do not know what from.<\/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\/nchennin\/files\/2022\/01\/IMG_2281-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/nchennin\/files\/2022\/01\/IMG_2281-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/nchennin\/files\/2022\/01\/IMG_2281-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/nchennin\/files\/2022\/01\/IMG_2281-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/nchennin\/files\/2022\/01\/IMG_2281-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/nchennin\/files\/2022\/01\/IMG_2281-1568x2091.jpeg 1568w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/nchennin\/files\/2022\/01\/IMG_2281-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/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\/nchennin\/files\/2022\/01\/IMG_2282-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/nchennin\/files\/2022\/01\/IMG_2282-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/nchennin\/files\/2022\/01\/IMG_2282-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/nchennin\/files\/2022\/01\/IMG_2282-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/nchennin\/files\/2022\/01\/IMG_2282-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/nchennin\/files\/2022\/01\/IMG_2282-1568x2091.jpeg 1568w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/nchennin\/files\/2022\/01\/IMG_2282-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of other animal presence in my place, I could hear woodpeckers hard at work. I could also hear chickadees, this was nice because they are Maine&#8217;s (my home&#8217;s) state bird. There were also two other calls that I read repeatedly, both I suspect to be from birds although I did not see them for confirmation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A change that I noticed since winter trully set in is the complete burrial of the ferns I had posted about previosly, they are either dead or just completely covered in snow. Dispite this, there i still green moss poking out from snow covered logs. This fascinates me given the sub zero temperatures that were prominant earlier this month.<\/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\/nchennin\/files\/2022\/01\/IMG_2280-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/nchennin\/files\/2022\/01\/IMG_2280-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/nchennin\/files\/2022\/01\/IMG_2280-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/nchennin\/files\/2022\/01\/IMG_2280-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/nchennin\/files\/2022\/01\/IMG_2280-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/nchennin\/files\/2022\/01\/IMG_2280-1568x2091.jpeg 1568w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/nchennin\/files\/2022\/01\/IMG_2280-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/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\/nchennin\/files\/2022\/01\/IMG_2277-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-37\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/nchennin\/files\/2022\/01\/IMG_2277-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/nchennin\/files\/2022\/01\/IMG_2277-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/nchennin\/files\/2022\/01\/IMG_2277-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/nchennin\/files\/2022\/01\/IMG_2277-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/nchennin\/files\/2022\/01\/IMG_2277-1568x2091.jpeg 1568w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/nchennin\/files\/2022\/01\/IMG_2277-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/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\/nchennin\/files\/2022\/01\/IMG_2279-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/nchennin\/files\/2022\/01\/IMG_2279-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/nchennin\/files\/2022\/01\/IMG_2279-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/nchennin\/files\/2022\/01\/IMG_2279-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/nchennin\/files\/2022\/01\/IMG_2279-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/nchennin\/files\/2022\/01\/IMG_2279-1568x2091.jpeg 1568w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/nchennin\/files\/2022\/01\/IMG_2279-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>I wonder if this tree will fall by the end of the year.<\/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\/nchennin\/files\/2022\/01\/IMG_2283-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-39\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/nchennin\/files\/2022\/01\/IMG_2283-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/nchennin\/files\/2022\/01\/IMG_2283-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/nchennin\/files\/2022\/01\/IMG_2283-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/nchennin\/files\/2022\/01\/IMG_2283-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/nchennin\/files\/2022\/01\/IMG_2283-1568x2091.jpeg 1568w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/nchennin\/files\/2022\/01\/IMG_2283-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>What is this organism?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My trip into Centennial Woods was quite enjoyable.
