Burlington Seasons Clock June 15th Update

Burlington Phenologists,

As we approach the solstice, summer ecology is hitting it's stride with trees in full leaves, butterflies aflutter, and weeds over your head in boggy areas. Since last time, we have had observations of eastern cottonwood fluff (hard to miss where the trees are present), mourning cloak caterpillars, common milkweed, and purple-flowered raspberries in bloom. As more and more caterpillars appear, keep your eyes on the milkweed to see if you can get the first sighting of a monarch in Burlington this year!
