On an overcast, gray day like today it is easy to forget that there is still a bustle of life outside in and under the snow! Here's this week's phenology:
- Is it spring yet--don’t ask the groundhog! Upon rising, they are only interested in mating, not the appearance of their shadow!
- Mice and rabbit are getting hungry and venturing out from under the snow. The owls and hawks are keenly aware of this change.
- We have gained back an hour of daylight since the Winter Solstice!
- Watch for ravens performing air-borne mating dances.
- Look for bark flakes on the snow. This may indicate a woodpecker has been searching for food above.
