Hello again! Even during the past two weeks I have not visited my phenology spot, many changes suggest fall is officially in the air. When I walked to my sitting rock (as shown in the map), the path was littered with leaves of hues of yellow and red. The picturesque views my spot has were truly phenomenal. The large eastern white pine that is near my sitting rock has started to shed its needles and the sugar maples along the main trail have as well. The marsh’s grasses have become yellow as they wither away into dormancy for the cold winter ahead. While sitting in my spot enjoying a breath of fresh air, I was greeted by a pair of chickadees as well as a very curious squirrel. The squirrel had seem to have its mouth full of goodies, probably beginning the foraging process before the first snowfall. I hope I can see my nature friends again on my next visit!
