Today is Throw Back Thursday with a twist: I’m looking back to a phenology list that predicts the future.
What can we expect outdoors in the next 4-6 weeks?
My list from 2008 was based on our normal weather for late November and early December but the Earth is experiencing a strong El Niño this year.
Will the old predictions will hold true or will they be delayed?

I am still seeing lots of robins.
The crows have started to flock along the Allegheny River.
In the mornings, look for them in the trees along the banks. In the evenings, right before sunset, they will migrate from one side of the river to the other – in long bands comprised of groups, with gaps in between. Sometimes I can watch for an hour and not see the beginning or the end of it.
