Now that the temperatures have dropped and snow has fallen, there are changes in my sight. I saw less ground cover other than a few sparse ferns. The ground is frozen, littered with leaves, and a thin coating of fresh snow. I heard some birds singing, but nothing like the bird irruption talked about in Naturally Curious. I also did not see any animals or signs of them, I only heard a dog barking off in the distance. Overall my phenology site is beautiful during this new phase and is becoming somewhat of a refuge for me as well as some (undoubtedly present) animals preparing for winter.
