As opposed to what the fresh snow on the ground is telling us, we are officially in Spring. With this, I expected to see a resurgence of life in the forest behind the Redstone campus. Instead of this, I came back to the normal winter lull. Besides from a few distant songs, which I was unable to identify, and one robin that scurried along the snow for a few feet, there was no evidence of emerging birds. Budding on the maples, birches, and beech was incredibly sparce, and there were no examples which I could get a close picture of. The only evidence of animal activity in the area was an abundance of human footprints, as the area is somewhat trafficked with walkers, and a canine track, which I determined to be a domesticated breed.
