Episode notes
Two Stages Of Spring
- Spring is defined culturally by March to late May, but ecologists split it into pre-vernal (early) and vernal (late) spring.
- Early spring can still have snow and slush while late spring shows full blooms and different biological patterns.
Spring Triggers Wildlife And Plant Activity
- Spring brings transformation: buds emerge, icicles melt, and animals leave hibernation or dens for mating and nesting.
- Groundhogs, bears, and birds reappear; birds gather twigs and mud to build nests as reptiles and amphibians prepare shelters for eggs.
Dress In Layers For April Weather
- Be prepared for April's unpredictable weather by dressing in layers, bundling up, and bringing an umbrella.
- The saying April showers bring May flowers explains rain early on leads to late-spring blossoms.
