The purpose of this visit was to look for and document early signs of spring, but because of the snow this weekend there were certain to be many things I wasn’t able to see. Some of the woody plants and trees at my spot have developed buds, but they haven’t begun to swell yet. I didn’t see any tracks besides other people’s footprints around my spot and heard very few birds. The only birdcall I was able to recognize was a crow, but there weren’t many besides that. Normally my spot has a few deep puddles that I was hoping to see signs of amphibians in, but I think they were covered by the snow. The ice on the stream near my spot is starting to melt and is only really on the edges now.
