Dairy Bush GigaPan - 179 – February 06 2013
Year 4 - Week 21 - 360°

Winter returns to the Dairy Bush. -10C while taking this morning’s panorama. Even though cold, much activity in the Bush. Chickadee’s calling their two note fee-bee call to define their territory (Spring must be on it’s way!). The black squirrels were also thinking of spring as they vigorously chased each other and engaged in some mating activities.

I've extracted images from a year of Dairy Bush GigaPans to illustrate the rapid decomposition of the leaf litter in this forest associated with the presence of non-native worms. The forest floor is changing! www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRRv09_oF5w
