Notes From Early February
Hello, this post is over the phenology observations I took on February, 8, 2012. I went out at 9:40 A.M. The sunrise then was 7:27 A.M. and the sunset was 5:30 P.M. The depth of the creek that day was ten centimeters. The air temperature was -4° Celsius, while the water temperature was 3° C. There was some snow, maybe around 3 centimeters, it covered the ground enough so that you couldn't really see what was under it. There were some sort of bird tracks that were coming from the creek and going east towards the tennis courts a bit, but not as far in distance. There were some sounds that I noticed, there was a dog that I heard, the water from the creek flowing, a plane flying and, as usual, some cars. This date contrasted when I did phenology on February 22nd a bit, which you'll see in my next post.

I appreciate the details surrounding the day but would like to know how they compare to previous findings... Is a water depth of 10 cm typical for your location? How did the air and water temps compare with previous findings? How long had the snow been on the ground? Was it wet, heavy snow, or dry, light snow? Was it already melting? What did the tracks look like... a sketch or photo would be nice. Did the tracks just end? Where did the bird go?
