Burlington Seasons Clock December 1st Update

I suppose you all listened when I said "stay warm" in my post a month ago. People were calling yesterday a "Florida Christmas". We will have to continue tracking the wildlife in Burlington to see if they felt the same.

The year is winding down, and many of the species we enjoyed seeing earlier in the fall have gone. Beavers have still been seen hard at work, and muskrats too, and a few robins are still hanging around in the trees. November also brought in more sightings of wooly bears, maybe the last leopard frog, and a milkweed pod still hanging on although the monarchs have left.

Stay outside in December and see what you can find! You can also play our monthly bingo game which always contains some of the species from the Clock project: https://burlingtonwildways.org/projects/wildways-bingo

Just a reminder, although tree species like red maple and basswood are part of the project, we are only showing their flowering season on the clock, so any winter observations won't be added.
