Today is the last observation period for me for Nature's Notebook 2021. The rest of the team have their rotations for the next two weeks. I return to the field on January 3rd.
Also today is likely my last garden tour of 2021. I'm just short of 118 service hours. If I can put in 10 more hours, this will be my second best year. Of course, my best year was my first when I had requirements to fulfill and wasn't spending any time on plant labels. That was 227:30.
Here Sandy and Sheila watch a porcupine in Siberian Elm #1 while four cranes fly overhead.
The porcupine was surprisingly active for a daytime porcupine, moving among the branches, eating elm buds and bark.
