This week I was ecstatic to take my walk down to centennial woods as the night before there was a fresh snowfall! There’s nothing more beautiful than the snow laying on top of tree branches like icing on a loaf of pumpkin bread (my favorite bread). I walked down with my good friend Becca as our spots are very close to each other. Since everything was pretty much frozen (or at least slush) we ventured out into the marshy area to get a nice view of everything.
After returning from our off-site adventure, we honed down and found so tracks! There were many tracks in pretty cool spots! One of my favorites to see was the squirrel tracks on fallen tree trunks! It’s very impressive how they climb upwards even in inches of snow! We also saw some bunny tracks, and my most exciting find, fox tracks!! A possible explanation for the mass amounts of squirrel tracks that were seen could be the large black oak tree that produces a food that squirrels love: acorns! I was shocked that we didn’t see any deer tracks because white tailed deer are among one of the highest acorn consumers. I learned this fun fact from Ms. Mary Holland herself! Regardless, it was still very fun to see all the tracks and know that all the furry friends enjoy the spot even more than I do!
