5-6 Eta Aquariid meteor shower.

10  Full moon. Approximate peak of spring bird migration.

25  Listen for the sound of Bullfrogs, a booming, two-or three-part bellow, emanating from ponds and lakes, especially at night.

31  Wild Columbine in bloom. Look for male Ruby-throated Hummingbirds doing their pendulum-like territorial display over columbine patches.
