temperatures are hitting double digits during the day, birds are returning from the south, and little shoots of spring flowers are popping up in sheltered gardens.<\/p>\n<p>Nature is in full transition mode and it couldn\u2019t come at a better time as most of Canada is at home under physical distancing restrictions. As our daily activities become more and more routine, wildlife is doing the opposite and putting on a show right before our eyes.<\/p>\n<p>In these strange times, where the fast pace of life has seemed to slow to a crawl, maybe it\u2019s time to take a cue from Mother Nature and enjoy the simple and beautiful changes that will occur in your own backyard over the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<p><b>We\u2019ve gathered some ideas to make the most of spring time at home.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>1. GIVE BEES A CHANCE<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Most of us are jumping at the opportunity to get outside this weekend and tidy up our yards. I don\u2019t think there has ever been a time where raking has been such an enjoyable activity. But we caution you to not pick up that rake just yet!<\/p>\n<p>Did you know that many of the insects that we look forward to seeing in the spring are spending their last few weeks of development in your leaves? Butterflies and bumble bees (and many other insects) finish their development when the warm weather returns in March and April. So if you are looking forward to seeing your favourite swallowtails or bumbles flying around your yard this summer, best to let them finish up development over the next couple of weeks.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-63ivzhx-03132d367ab141c34edeaa0ab75b733c av_one_full  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_full  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mm2feegk-d9f96054553709124ed235989ef7bad6\">\n.avia-image-container.av-mm2feegk-d9f96054553709124ed235989ef7bad6 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-mm2feegk-d9f96054553709124ed235989ef7bad6 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-mm2feegk-d9f96054553709124ed235989ef7bad6 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-8  el_before_av_hr  avia-builder-el-first'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-52235 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-52235 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/SpendingSpringAtHome_BumbleInSedum.png' alt='' title='SpendingSpringAtHome_BumbleInSedum'  height=\"738\" width=\"1019\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-5vggqlx-7c15aac6dd168644a78118f3f32c7778\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-5vggqlx-7c15aac6dd168644a78118f3f32c7778{\nheight:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-5vggqlx-7c15aac6dd168644a78118f3f32c7778 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_image  el_before_av_textblock'><span class='hr-inner'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-58z680l-eb3d817f352e193fcfeb81cb0ab1697f'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taylor Kerekes, Lead Biologist for WPC\u2019s Native Pollinator Initiative, delivers a talk to FREED students on bumble bee ecology before heading out for a mock survey (photo by Michael Alexander).\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-4s0fro5-635af1e22b7645c470457d6f264890ec av_one_full  avia-builder-el-11  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_full  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-mm2f82gj-3dd2bdff3144fbd0fe111ce1d4153ddd'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>When can I rake the leaves? The answer depends on your region, but the general rule of thumb is to wait until temperatures are consistently over 10C (50F). This is when most insects have completed development and are able to move about safely.<\/p>\n<p>So what can I do to clean up my yard? We understand that it may not be practical for you to leave the leaves in some areas. If you must move some leaves, do it with care by gently brushing the leaves out of the way with your hands and placing them in a sheltered area. Avoid using hard tools like rakes and shovels that will physically harm the soft insects. The insects hiding in the leaf litter will be happy to continue their development safely in the new location.<\/p>\n<p>What else can I do instead of raking? If you are looking for an at-home project this weekend, you can build an insect hotel. The best part is that hotels can be made with a variety of materials that you have lying around the house.<\/p>\n<p><b>2. BACKYARD PHENOLOGY<\/b><\/p>\n<p>To everything there is a season (turn, turn, turn). This classic song has a deeper meaning when you apply it to wildlife. Phenology\u00a0is the study of plant and animal life cycles, and how these are influenced by the seasons.\u00a0Many of the \u2018firsts\u2019 that you associate with spring \u2013 the first flower, the first bird nest \u2013 are all examples of phenology.\u00a0By tracking when \u2018firsts\u2019 of the season occur annually, we can start to understand how these seasonal events may be changing over time.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t need a large parcel of land to take part in the study of phenology. You just need to take a few moments each day to look around at your environment. This can be especially\u00a0therapeutic these days when we are\u00a0spending so\u00a0much time looking down at screens.<\/p>\n<p>You can even create a database of your own yard with a notebook. Write down the dates of significant seasonal events like \u2018spring firsts\u2019 or \u2018fall lasts\u2019. After a few years of\u00a0record keeping, you\u2019ll notice that the dates may change slightly from year to year, but the trends are quite consistent. Mother Nature is a creature of habit!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-4b2f191-86781af931c41169f1a6ba4390d3e7ee av_one_full  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_full  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mm2fd3so-1de4b35cfe431df78e7a170fd66921f7\">\n.avia-image-container.av-mm2fd3so-1de4b35cfe431df78e7a170fd66921f7 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-mm2fd3so-1de4b35cfe431df78e7a170fd66921f7 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-mm2fd3so-1de4b35cfe431df78e7a170fd66921f7 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-14  el_before_av_hr  avia-builder-el-first'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-52234 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-52234 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/SpendingSpringAtHome_SpringChecklist.png' alt='' title='SpendingSpringAtHome_SpringChecklist'  height=\"738\" width=\"1019\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-3si63v9-e674dcefe91e260856a90a4154177057\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-3si63v9-e674dcefe91e260856a90a4154177057{\nheight:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-3si63v9-e674dcefe91e260856a90a4154177057 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-15  el_after_av_image  avia-builder-el-last'><span class='hr-inner'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/p><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-3bn8tsl-9c3f9bee4a4e2236844b2c81bfcd15ab av_one_full  avia-builder-el-16  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_full  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-mm2f9g13-5c2981fe14c68e0250cb596d729f7838'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><b>Get your whole family involved in backyard phenology.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Print out this Signs of Spring Checklist and put it somewhere visible in the house.
