Burlington Seasons Clock March Update

Burlington Phenologists,

I was amazed to see the number of observations rolling in this month, not just of the birds arriving this spring, but of the resurgence of summer observations being posted during a snowy February. While the clock's bounds pushed ahead with many more wildlife camera photos of foxes and students' birdwatching reports on campus, data was backfilling for large white trillium and purple-flowered raspberry blooms from last year.

We have just a few weeks left before we'll close the books on the 2020 Burlington Seasons Clock. We will welcome the spring weather, migrants and buds, and a new project to continue our community nature research through this calendar year.

Want to make more of a game out of the Seasons Clock? Play our Wildways Bingo game which is updated monthly and highlights species from this phenology project:
