> 4/30 - There have been an extraordinary number of early-arriving warblers in CT this spring. To date (4/30), an amazing 30 species of warblers have already been reported this year in the state. That’s simply amazing!
> It would appear global warming is a big factor. Considering the phenology of plants budding out, trees and shrubs are at least two weeks early in flowering and leafing out. As an example, our Shadbush would typically start blooming the first week of May. Well it’s done flowering already. Oaks are already in full flower.
