March Phenology in Burlington

March 7, 2021 by ebpaulso

I could definitely see the approach of spring while I was walking around downtown Burlington and the waterfront today. The melting ice created a layer of muck on much of the grass and sidewalks. Many people were taking advantage of the warmer weather and the park was filled with dog walkers and skate boarders. Today was literally a breath of fresh air after months of snow and cloudy days.

The trees are still retaining their winter buds, but will hopefully soon be full of leaves and blossoms

The combination of water and remaining ice created a really cool effect on Lake Champain
Seeing a flock of gulls was the extent of the wildlife activity today, but this is the first time I have seen them since last fall
A nest I saw in Battery Park, perhaps it will soon be home to some baby birds!
