It's the first time in a while that Pacific Northwest and New England have been on the same weather page!

This was Monday afternoon - 61 degrees!!

The temperature differences across the country is incredible, giving Storm Olive plenty of energy!

Spring is here if you believe it. Last week, we had five days of above 80 highs by Sunday evening, and it dropped below freezing.

This year, I started volunteering at Morton Arboretum. My job title is Phenology Monitor and my task is to observe and record the seasonal changes in the plants for the research. I have been assigned 15 oak trees. Here are the pictures of six different oaks' catkins (the male flowers). For the tree nerds, they are (clockwise from the upper-left corner) fernowii, alba, shumardii, georgiana, bicolor, and rubra. Their common names are Fernow's, White, Schneck's, Georgia, Swamp White, and Red. It takes me about an hour each week and the best parts are that it gets me out of my chair, takes me into the woods, and saves me $15 per visit.

What a great volunteering job Shujen.  Will you also have to record any changes in birds and insects?

I still feel somewhat traumatized when I see catkins.  When I was 6 years old I went to the park and took some branches with catkins to give to my mother (she loved them).  The park ranger saw what I had done and had a few words to  say about it.  I had to give my name and address and lived in fear for the rest of the week for the ranger to come to my house and tell my parents.   :knuppel:

I learned something about catkins - thanks schen! The woods around me are showing more signs of spring every day - including the skunk cabbage!

Wonderful Schen! And your pic of the woods is so inviting Jo Ann!

Hannie, they do have traps for insects. I know there are people working on frogs and snakes but I am not sure about birds. But my responsibility is limited to 15 oak trees.

One semester in college, I went crazy and signed up for a class in plant taxonomy. I was more interested in the philosophy of taxonomy then. It's fun to come back to it half a century later.
