Instead of a warm spring we got snow. And a lot of snow. At my spot everything was covered in a blanket of snow in the understory. The ferns, the logs, the soil, and the smaller baby trees were slightly covered in snow. However, there were no animal tracks in and around my area. I did hear some birds but I was unable to identify them. There were two crows that were flying around Centennial Woods and on the walk over to Centennial from campus, there were lots of robins in the trees.
The barberry had little to no berries left on it and all of the trees had no leaves except for the Norway maple which had about 2 very dry and droopy leaves. There some trees that were beginning to bud such as the red maple and the red oak.
