This week I saw more signs that Spring is here and I am thrilled! As I approached the park with my Labrador Retriever I saw new life such as grass forming all around the park and leaves finally on the ground. They were last years leaves but they were still leaves and the grass was looking less and less brown! This is a lovely start! I heard basketballs bouncing and children yelling, it was a glorious day! I first saw the grass growing in the cracks in the sidewalk which got me very excited. This is a sign that things are starting to reproduce again and come back to life from the horrid winter that we encountered this year. After I saw the grass growing between the sidewalk I noticed the couple birds nest's in the trees. Birds are so smart, they have used the old leaves from the past season to make a nest to keep their young that they have reproduced during the winter. In the article I found, The Four Seasons, it talks about how animals wake or return from warmer climates, often with newborns (Redd). The video that is on this website was very interesting as well, including all of the seasons of life. This was a helpful website that explains what happens in each season and was useful when I got home from the park to do some research! Happy blogging! See you all next week!

I was at a bird show at a library when I was younger and the presenter said that birds will use almost anything for their nests. The presenter said that she puts the hair left on her hairbrush in trees and bushes, and in this way helps the birds build their homes.
ReplyDeleteVery neat that birds are building nests for their new families already. And out of dead leaves, which is what I did my post on this week!
ReplyDeleteThat nest you have a pic of looks like it may actually have been a squirrel dray. Look those up and see if you agree or disagree.
