It has finally begun getting warmer, and although snow is coming and going as it pleases, I feel that spring has finally sprung. As I visited my place this afternoon I was sure that I would see some sign of wildlife, but either my eyes have not yet adjusted to the ground without snow on it, or they still are scared to come out and say hi. I walked over near to the brook to see if I could find any signs of amphibian life ready to start walking about, but I had no luck, this might be due to both the fluctuating air temperatures, and of course the frigid temperature of the brook full of fresh snow melt. My spot is in a grassy spot, so I looked for signs of wildflowers. I was able to find signs of some flowers poking up among the leaves, and grasses from last season.
There are not many trees in my area, but the few that exist seem to still have buds, but no flowers yet have bloomed. I wonder when this will happen, hopefully by the time I leave for home. My place is located not far from the forest edge, meaning that there is a large difference in biodiversity between my place, and the edge of centennial. I wonder how much this affects the wildlife of the area, do they feel threatened by the human population?
