Cait and I visited Hurricane Island yesterday (April 10th, 2014) and were excited to see that some of our favorite trees have buds on them! It must finally be spring! If you are interested in tracking the phenology of plants around you, be sure to join Project Bud Burst or the USA National Phenology Network and submit your observations throughout the seasons.
