Final visit to my phenology spot (for real this time). So much unfolding at my site this time! Like I said in my previous posting, I set up my hammock and spent some time in my phenology spot, as the spring weather was super enjoyable. There are no leaves on the non-coniferous trees yet, but …

BioBlitz/May 2nd posting
For the City Nature Challenge iNaturalist BioBlitz, I went to my phenology spot. This time I set up my hammock to spend more time observing what species I would come across. I found iNaturalist confusing to use, but hopefully got the hang of it. I liked using it in the moment but had technical difficulties …
March Posting
Over spring break I went to a new phenology place. In my hometown of Stamford Connecticut, I visited West Beach, a public beach situated on the Long Island Sound. Initially, this site is very different from my phenology site at school. Being a beach, the soils are sandier than what is found in Centennial, giving …

And the snow brings some wonderful surprises. Snow gives us the privilege of seeing some tracks, not sure what these may be from, but …
Event Map
On our way to dinner, I did my event map. My roommates and I took a right at our dorm onto University Heights and then followed that road until we got to Main Street, across from the Davis center. We have some sugar maples outside our dorm that haven’t completely lost their leaves yet, so …

Today I visited my phenology spot as a little break in between my work. It was nice to focus my senses on something other than my work, especially after such a busy weekend. Super thankful that the weather was nicer today. It was around 52 and sunny, which is a great change of pace from …
Introduction
Hi NR 1! Welcome to my phenology assignment blog. I chose an area in Centennial woods, because of its proximity to campus and how frequently we interact with it through the Rubenstein School. How to get to my place: To get to my place, you enter Centennial at its entrance on Catamount drive. Simply follow …
