Spring is in the air! 4 straight days over 40 degrees this week, and although it put a damper on the skiing, the warm breezes put everyone in a great mood. Our international group from Dusseldorf, Germany stayed over the weekend and took an off-site trip to the Mississippi headwaters at Itasca State Park. The school week was busy with two fantastic groups from Sandburg Middle School. Check out the satisfied faces on the bus on departure day (see photo).....the raised hands are in response to the question "who had fun this week?!"Phenology this week:
Chipmunk seen on 3/13, Woodchuck on 3/14
Red Crossbills on Nature Center Drive (photo below)
First spring rain on Wednesday, 3/12
Barred Owls calling actively
21 inches of ice on Bass Pond
Many local river openings and flowages are melting out...the Ducks can't be far behind!
