Since last semester there have been a lot of changes. The most obvious ones being the snow and the bare trees. The pond looked to have frozen over and there was a layer of snow on top, there were no tracks or marks of any kind in the snow about the pond. On the way to my spot, I was able to find some rabbit prints. I also saw and heard a few black-capped chickadees and a few crows.

Here’s one of the chickadees hanging out in this tree. Two of them were calling back and forth for a bit. On the right is Guelder-rose, the bright red berries look really nice against all of the white.

Most of the area is coniferous trees so the spot still has lots of greener compared to other spots in Centennial Woods. Although the top of the pond was frozen near the bridge you could still hear the running water. There were a few spots with rabbit tracks and I think there could have been a few deer tracks aswell. There were lots of dog prints too.
