This month in my phenology site i noticed there were many tracks of human and animal interactions. But one animal that i tracked was a gray squirrel. This squirrel lives in dense trees with many limbs and can also creates its den in hollow tree stumps as well. During the day it spends its time foraging for nuts and berries and even tree bark as well. Then it spends it’s time at night sleeping. Gray squirrels do have many predators however, hawks, foxes, raccoons, owls, and weasels are just some of its nature predators.
From last time i visited the site the snow has melted some and the trees are still bare. But there has been an increase in human traffic because of the nicer weather.
