Phenology Calendar for the first week of December

Posted by Wayne G. Barber


First Week of December
Chipping sparrows have big appetites: each one will eat 160 times its weight in seeds over the course of a winter.

The delicate fronds of the small fern called maidenhair spleenwort are still green and still clinging to rocks.

Once they find suet hanging by the birdfeeder, hairy and downy woodpeckers will come back to it again and again.

Snowy owls occasionally visit this region. These beautiful daytime hunters often perch on fence posts and low branches.

White Tail Deer are in full Rut and this is the best time for Beaver Pelts .

The mighty Black Bears will be reserving their denning sites now.
