When I returned to my phenology spot I wanted to focus on my connection with the place, so I wanted to sketch what I saw instead of just taking photos.
What I observed was that there was life coming back to Centennial Woods and everything was so much greener. Most, if not all, of the trees were budding and finally had leaves coming back. I went back after it had rained so I also noticed a plethora of animal tracks from animals and their young becoming more active as it warms up.
Overall the biggest thing that I noticed was how the plants seemed to come alive. There were sprouts of young plants coming up, and I saw a number of tiny flowers emerging from the ground similar to the ones on the trail at the Birds of Vermont Museum, and the color really added a lot to the blooming environment.
