Spring and Plant Sale

Spring definitely feels like it is coming much sooner than expected. Low winter temperatures and ample rain seems to have signaled an early bloom! Everything seems to be budding! Check out the slide show below of what is in bloom already.

This is also the time of year that the Purple Martins (Progne subis) begin their migration back from South America.

While investigating some issues with invasive birds (European Starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) and English House Sparrows(Passer domesticus)) in our habitat, Mr. Rosenberg was able to spot some scout Martins.

 Boy are they quick! He couldn't get any on perch but he did get some on the hunt for breakfast.

  

Here is a stock photo of a pair. Can't wait!

Finally, our biannual plant sale will kick of this Thursday, 3/10/16. We will be testing on campus so the sale will be delayed until 1pm. It will run until 5pm. We will continue on Friday, 3/11/16, and go from 9am until 4:30. Please come out and support the Green Academy and our students!
