Hello and welcome to spring everyone! There are some exciting new observations and signs that point to the phenological calendar flipping to spring. In the past couple weeks the annual spring snowmelt flooding of the floodplain has occurred.
Using the second graph for a reference of the flood stages, and noting that according to the National Weather Service Flood Impacts: Low lying farmland in the Burlington Intervale will flood from the 12-15ft stages and be inundated above the 15ft stage.
Some interesting observations of species found within my spot include ostrich fern fiddleheads, red fox tracks, and nearby silver maple buds.
Thats all for now, but new exciting observations are coming soon!
