Last-minute spring rainstorms ushered in our first week of summer. Animals are busy: fireflies are out, some breeding birds are beginning their second brood, particularly robins and phoebes. Gray tree fogs are still making noise, and summer will also bring the calls of mink frogs and green frogs. Turtles, butterflies and some cicadas are emerging as well.
Phenology with local naturalist Larry Weber every Friday morning at 8:20 on Northland Morning.
