At Journey North, we follow several specific migratory species, like monarch butterflies and common loons, and phenological events, like emerging tulip bulbs. However, we recognize that there are other phenological events important to our Journey North community. Each of us may have our own sign of spring or fall. 

What is your favorite sign of spring? Is it the first calls of frogs? Newly emerged crocuses? First blooms of lilac bushes? 

• During the spring, please report your sign of the season to Journey North using the reporting category, All Other Signs of Spring.

Likewise, what is your favorite sign of fall? First sugar maple leaf to turn red?  The sound of birds migrating overhead? Please report your sign of the season for fall to Journey North using the reporting category, Signs of Fall.

• During the fall, please report your sign of the season to Journey North using the reporting category, Signs of Fall.

Enjoy all these signs of the seasons on our All Other Signs of Spring map or Signs of Fall map.
