Today, I went into Centennial Woods hoping spring had sprung. Unfortunately, there has been little change in vegetation or animals so far. All I could find that was green were a few ferns that were just starting to bloom. Most of the snow cover has melted, and it was pretty muddy. As for birds, I did see several Turkey Vultures heading north, the first spring migrants in Burlington.
