Today I visited my tree again in Centennial Woods. Not much has changed about my tree since the last visit. It is not budding yet and has not developed any leaves. Although it is technically spring, there are no phenological indicators of the season showing on my tree just yet.
The bark is still peeling and the tree itself looks the same. In Centennial Woods, I felt that there was a phenological change. I could hear more birds chirping than before, and lots of the snow that was piled up during my last visit had melted. Although it was not warm during my visit and some snow still remained on the ground, I could tell that spring was here. I suspect that most of the changes that spring will bring to Centennial Woods will be observed later this month.
