As spring comes in Ohio you would think it would become warmer, but recently shifting weather has made snow drop down. Sudden switching of warm and cold weather forces animals that hibernate to wake up earlier, requiring more energy and food. This harms wildlife as it damages vegetation, animal cycles, and migrating animals. As the local plants grow in because of the warm weather, the cold weather within a few days kills vegetation. Further breaking the food cycle, and as the animals assume they can come out of hibernation or migration, they will have nothing to eat. Ultimately, Ohio's alternating weather has tremendous negative effects on its wildlife, damaging animals, and vegetation. 

This month's unusual app is “Is It Dark Outside?” Have you ever been holed up playing video games and find yourself unsure of it being day or night, but the game just can't wait so you find yourself in a  predicament. Then this app is just for you! It will tell you if the sun is still there or not. It connects with the weather forecasting of your area through the location of your phone and then tells you when the sun sets or rises.

Did you know that spring is a season of dramatic and rapid change, this is the one season in which you can witness unique animal behavior such as the increased bird vocalization for mating, and even the worm moon, arising due to oxygen starved soil. Other unique events that take place are the fastest sunsets of the year and the peak of tornado season.  More interesting animal behavior includes honeybees, you are more likely to witness a honeybee swarm in the spring, since it is the time for them to find a perfect location for their hive.
