Today at around 3pm on Monday, March 25, 2024, I visited the Redstone Pines on my way back from class. I immediately noticed that the sun was a lot higher in the sky than it usually was since its been so cloudy out recently. As I walked into the woods along the tree line there was budding on lots of little undergrowth. I noticed rabbit tracks going into the thicket and notices that it stopped to possibly feed on these sprouts to hold itself over for the spring. I also noticed a squirrel or chipmonk tracks that I was unable to confirm due to the increase in temperature melting the snow. The animal come down from the Eastern White Pine tree and dug up the snow to the dirt level looking for food. Overall spring is in the air and the animals are starting to feed more getting ready for the spring hunt for food.
