It is a week into Spring and I am back visiting the Paper Birch. After comparing and contrasting the images collected from this assignment, I observe no significant changes. The color of the buds have become slightly more green and the buds have slightly increased in size. It was interesting returning back to the tree after we’ve experienced warmer weather recently. The smell of the frozen ground defrosting was noticeable and there was less snow crunching under my feet. As the weather warms, I cannot wait to observe more phenological changes that this tree presents.
