A Be-eee-A-you-T-full Day

What a day for phenology!  The sun was shining and the wind was barely blowing. Spring was here, the birds, kids, and all the other animals were all active this day. It was a Friday morning to be exact and I started with my sound tapestry. The last time we were out there the colors of the trees and ground were very dull and mundane. As I was listening to all the creatures I could hear each of them moving around looking for food and such. The beautiful spring colors are ripening and everything is coming back to life. Everything around me was more active. There were children playing at the park,dogs barking, and birds roaming the area. I noticed that fish were way more active, now that the water is warmer, I get to see them more often due to this change. My update on the muskrat is I was looking around his den and there were multiple tracks going to and from his home so I know that spring is bringing him out. It was a nice to lay down and listen to all the creature go about themselves. The color of my tree has changed just over a week with yellows and dark browns interlacing .I have leaves back on my tree again also. This is what phenology is all about, noticing all the changes around us and recognizing why that change occurred.
