Signs of Springs

Sign 1

Location: Edge of practice football field

For our first sign of spring at our first site we spotted a female cone starting to bloom on a pine tree. Plus their was honey suckle growing up the tree with the female cones on it. The weather was really nice, it was in the 50's with a light wind enough to lift your hair up a little bit. As we stood still we could hear crows crowing and a whistling noise as the wind blew through the trees.

Sign 2

Location: Down beside the pond

As we walked down the pond we spotted little pine cones and female cones growing on little trees beside the pond. If you looked close at the female cones they had pollen on them that's name is Alder cat kins. That's another sign of spring for our second site. When we were taking our observations we heard a bird fly over cawing. Then you could hear the trees rocking back and forth in the woods as the wind picked up a little since our first site. You could really feel how nice the weather was their because it's really open. Even though the wind picked up a little the sun was still beaming down. While standing by the lake Mrs. Richardson told us it was 54 degrees outside.

Sign 3

Location: Back in the trails of the woods

As we were walking down the trail towards our third site we spotted a butterfly fluttering through the trees. That is a huge sign that spring is coming and when we walked a little bit further their was spring growth on a trees. It was the beginning stages of the tree about to bloom. The only thing I really heard was leaves crunching as people walked on them and the water going down the stream of the creek. It was a little chilly in the woods because we were in the shade. But the wind was only blowing every now and then but it wasn't even enough to pick up a piece of paper.

Sign 4

Location: The front circle of the school

For our forth and final site to find signs of spring we were in front of the school. As soon as we got to the site i automatically spotted the trees starting to bloom. Almost all the trees in front of the school started to have red blooms on the edge of their branches. We were in a open field so the sun was beaming down which made it a little warmer but their was a light wind that gave you chill bumps when it blew. But it was only strong enough t blow the branches of the trees back and forth. Plus thats what we could hear was the branches making a knocking noise as they hit each other.
