Wow!  Everything seems to be happening at once, as this Spring breaks!  Flowers are blooming, butterflies are fluttering, birds are hunting for nests --  there is so much going on right now!  Scientists are half-jokingly calling this "The Jumanji Effect."  Remember that movie with Robin Williams, where all the animals came pouring out of the gameboard?  (It was also a terrific children's book!) That's what's happening --  everything is coming out all at once this Spring!

With so many wonders all around us, this April will be a great month to explore and experience nature!  Get out your skeeter repellent and get out there, walking the trails, planting a garden, kayaking down the river or cycling under a clear blue sky!

Check out all the nature happenings near you at www.naturefind.com!  Enter your zipcode and a radius to display Audubon sanctuaries, State Parks and more near you!  Then click on a place to visit and click the "see more" option.  This will bring up a page with more info, including a live link to that park's website!  Cool, huh? 

Of course, you can also enjoy nature while you're sitting at home in your favorite comfy chair, watching all the birds visiting your birdfeeders!  Our Springtime birds are arriving, with Red-Winged Blackbirds and Eastern Bluebirds being reported by many of our customers.  We are on the lookout for Great Blue Herons, but have not yet seen our resident birds flying over the parking lot.  (We did, however, enjoy the company of a small flock of Cedar Waxwings for a few days as they gobbled every berry in the parking lot bushes!)

Stop by and visit us soon and tell us about the wonders of nature you have seen lately!  We are looking forward to your visit!
