April is the Month of Heavy Spring Rains

APRIL is the month of heavy spring rains, of the return of birds, of new grass, of new leaves, of spring flowers.

You can see the first violets in April. There are so many flowers coming into bloom at this time that it is hard to name them all.

In April many young animals are born. The raccoon, the squirrel, the fox and many others have four or more young ones.

More birds are coming from the South. By this time the birds who came in March are building their nests. The robin, for example, usually builds his nest on a branch of a tree. He uses grass, mud, and even small pieces of paper.

April is the month when early morning is announced by a bird concert.
