Burlington Seasons Clock July 15th Update

Burlington Phenologists,

It has finally happened. The monarchs have arrived! A true sign of summer and vindication for planting and mowing around the blooming milkweed plants. Other keen observers found an osprey and that the basswoods are flowering.

With the year now half over, we can take stock of all we've seen so far. Averaging around two observations a day, people in Burlington have spotted 39 of our 44 focus species. We've already surpassed the number of observations of these species from last year! (306 in 2019, with 342 at last check this year.) Keep up the good work and be on the lookout for all 44 of our focus species.
