These last four days have been crazy, I’ve been going out everyday to document and add to the ever amassing list of species on inaturalist.
On Friday, and my first outing, I went out to Centennial woods. Then I walked over to my phenology site in Winooski and did some observations there.
Saturday I went to the Intervale for an event with friends and had so much fun take observations and walking along the Winooski river.
Finally on Sunday I went back out to Centennial and took a different route. I ended up coming across this hut built out of sticks far into the woods. It felt kind of magical, someplace I wouldn’t have noticed if I wasn’t spending so much time wandering around the woods.
These last four days have been kind of crazy and hectic. It is a mix of feeling competitive about logging species and enjoying the time I’m spend with other participating friends and classmates. It has felt like one big scavenger hunt that has only brought me closer to my friends and to nature.
I’m proud of finishing in third place with around 140 observations. I tried to be competitive but also enjoy my time outdoors and learn about some new wildlife
