During my final visit to Centennial Woods of the semester, I noticed a variety of small bird species who made the woods much noisier than previous months. Other signs of birds were woodpecker holes which I find more and more of every time I visit.
The woods are appearing fuller as deciduous leaves continue to emerge as well as smaller plants along the floor. Wildflowers are one of my favorite aspects of spring and visiting forested areas in these months. Ostrich fern fiddleheads are scattered throughout Centennial Woods and have began to appear much more over the past month.
The amount of insects has increased significantly as well, with multiple bee species, moths, ants, etc. Also, down in the brook I was able to find a ton of small snails in the shallow water on rocks.
