How has the foliage changed?
The trees located near my phenology sight had less leaves than they did before. The snow on the ground covered almost all the rocks on the ground. No trees there still had leaves on them except the pines and spruces located on the path I took to get there. The main river where the stream was is not frozen, but smaller ponds that formed were frozen over. The deep still part of the river had a thin sheet of ice covering it. I saw no animal prints, except for some dog ones in the parking lot. There was never really any animal activity at my spot except for some birds. These birds have now migrated and are no longer here. I saw no nests in the trees and no fish in the water.
What aspects do I enjoy most about my Phenology Place?
I enjoy the fact that my place is on a water source. When I was looking for sites, I looked for places around water sources, and this area looked the most apealing since I was not familiar with this location before visiting. I also like how in order to get to my phenology site, I have to trek over rocks to get to the log I sit on.
Pictures!
