This time that I revisited the tree there was a lot more green showing from the actual leave poking out, you could very easily tell that it would be blooming into actual leaves soon enough. I think that within the next 2 or so weeks that this will be fully bloomed, as long as the weather stays warm and sunny with maybe some rain in the mix as well. On this trip I sadly did not see any birds or larger animals but I did see a grey squirrel along the way on the edge of the woods near the entrance to centennial woods. I also found some trash near the entrance that I picked up and brought back to campus to dispose of correctly so as to not litter.
