Hey there everyone!
Today was my phonology walk, and I went around and got phenological data from 5 different tree species on UVM campus. It was an absolutely beautiful day with the sunshining and 55 degrees outside. Overall, all of the 5 tree species that I identified and collected data on were in relatively the same phenophase. Every tree we saw at least had flower buds that were emerging and a few trees had leaf buds as well. None of the trees had leaves or ripe fruit either.
The most beautiful tree was the red maple that had emerging red flowers and pollen content which was a wonderful spring surprise.
Some other spring phenology things I thought were of note were the emerging crocuses and daffodils seen around campus which brought a smile to my face! I can’t wait for more beautiful spring phenological changes to occur.
