Phenology Assignment #4

This farm in Charlotte, Vermont is my Grandfathers farm where he raised dairy cows on it his whole life however now he is retired and no longer has cows but now me and my dad have converted this land into our Deer hunting ground. These fields are now over grown and are full of White Tail deer. Over this break it was rifle season for hunting and on that pin is where my tree stand is so I can see a full view of the over grown field as well as the thick brush/Eastern White Pine forrest behind me. Its much similar to the Redstone pines because the only trees left that have leaf cover on them are the Eastern White Pines which is where the White tail deer like to bed which is why this makes in a perfect hunting spot. Through out the week of sitting in my spot consistently while hunting I noticed more and more snowfall which allowed me to see where the deer and other smaller game such as squirrels, coyotes, birds, etc where living. I also noticed that the pine needles started to fall off more and more than prior days while the other leaves from the maples and oaks around me were married underneath the snow which I could no longer see which is very similar to what’s happening at the Redstone Pines. Unfortunately I forgot to photograph a gift in my spot so I was unable to document that part of the assignment.
