Warm Spell

There was a warm spell in the North Country during the first week of November, where the temperatures crept into the sixties. Dr. McKnight's ecology class took advantage of this weather and had a solo lab in Glenmeal State Forest. We hiked into the woods and chose our own spot where we sat and observed our surroundings for the next couple of hours. Some highlights from students were seeing a porcupine, a grouse, and being able to wear shorts in November. Here are some pictures of the spot I chose to observe for lab.
