The Daily Bucket is a place to catch your casual observations of the natural world and turn them into a valuable resource. Whether it's the first flowers of spring or that odd bug in your basement, don't be afraid to toss your thoughts into the bucket. Check here for a more complete description.
Okay, I have to admit this looks like a repeat bucket. First I ran this picture of the area outside my kitchen window in January.
Then I ran this photo of February.

Which tells you just about everything you need to know about Missouri. Lots of young plants out there today shivering. However, the temperature outside is actually above freezing (though clearly, somewhere up there in the sky that's not true).

Today's observations come from these locations
Share your own observations in comments, and I'll add a marker to the map. Please give a city and state (as close as you feel comfortable in providing). Green pins for observations mostly about plants, brown for animals, and blue for weather or other inorganic items. The letter at the center of each pin will be the first letter of the user who provides the data.
