Here are some spring phenological indicators that I have noticed since i’ve been home. The end of March in Western Massachusetts where I live is the beginning of spring time. Birds such as robins, nuthatches, and chickadees begin to reappear. Twigs can be seen on juvenile trees and you can see scat around from animals coming out of hibernation and winter survival modes. Additionally, you can hear the chirps of the frogs as they begin their mating season.
