Birch trees all over the interior are littering the slushy melting snow with an unusually high number of seeds, produced during ideal growing conditions by female catkins last summer. Where birch stands are dense, the winter white has now been transformed into a dusting of golden flakes. Local biologists report that this boost in birch seed production has also led to the largest spring invasion of Common and Hoary Redpolls in close to ten years.
