BioBlitz – 4/28
During the City Nature Challenge iNaturalist BioBlitz, I was able to explore two different areas in the Greater Burlington area. We first went to Centennial Woods and found many different species that we didn’t know how to identify.

While at my phenology site, Centennial Woods, I noticed many signs of the beginning of spring even though there was plenty of snow on the ground. For example, I heard many birds chirping and saw signs of buds beginning to form on saplings. Here is one example of a bud that was beginning to form …

With these sections, the seasons can be observed through certain lenses and will impact all three of these sections. Layout In the park, you can see some planted …
