It may only be the end of February, but Wood Frogs were sighted moving in Amherst and Groton, MA, last night, according to iNat observations. So it's spring already!

And that means it's just eight weeks to the City Nature Challenge, which is Friday, April 26th, though Sunday, April 29th, this year, plus the upload and ID period afterwards. I'm telling you this so you can clear your calendars for those four days, of course, but also because I'm lining up field trip leaders for the Western Mass CNC (https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/city-nature-challenge-2024-western-mass). If anyone wants to lead a field trip somewhere in the four western counties of Massachusetts on any of those days, let me know. Thanks!

(I'm not ready for spring yet. I'm still not finished with everything I wanted to get done this winter!)
