For the start of the second semester, I have decided to continue using my original phenology spot, nestled deep inside centennial woods, upon visitation I have noticed several significant changes, there is almost no foliage left, in the overstory as well as the understory of the forest. White pine and several other conifers remain the only bits of greenery in the woods.
On this visit to my phenology spot, I explored the area, looking for tracks and other signs of wildlife, I visited at night due to my schedule and it was snowing significantly, making tracks rather hard to make out, I found several sets of tracks, including ones that lead to a den of sorts, unfortunately, due to the half inch or so of fresh snow atop the tracks it is extremely challenging to distinguish what they are. Photos are included below.
