Dogwoods in Pelham are blooming

Ours haven’t even budded.

Today is the first I have seen any budded or bloomed been seeing the pear trees for 2 weeks but today I notices several dogwoods covered with green buds and 3 or 4 trees already with some flowers

Since the turkeys are gonna be done might as well get the reels out and lined up

Saw a few dogwoods blooming in south AL and MS this morning, all the way up around Cuba. Earliest I think I’ve seen that in my short life.

Saw 1 busting out on my place in Bullock this weekend. Blooming in February??

I have one in the front yard starting to bloom.

Never seen a dogwood bloom this early. So what is the cause yall goobers think? Global warming??

That can only mean 2 things, turkeys are gobblin and white perch are bitin!!!!

Dogwoods in bloom in Houston County Alabama. Full Azaleas too!

4th time in the last 10 years - Hwy 10 and south

Dad used to always say, if the dogwoods are blooming, turkeys are gobbling and the bass are bedding.

Take that chart back to the early 1600s and I'll bet you that trend line flattens right out to pretty much a flat line. Climate/temps are constantly changing, as a result of the earths distance to the sun not being a constant year over year. In the grand scene of things, man's existence has virtually zero impact on the climate. No matter what the libs, like Al Gore, Obama, the MSM, the squad and all the greenies that are getting rich off this scam say. We were supposedly headed for an ice age back in the late 80s (global cooling), then when that didnt work out, it became global warming, then that settled down and now, it is the catch all name of "climate change". Just a way to keep the money associated with it, flowing into peoples pockets. Here's a truth for you. The climate on earth has been changing ever since God spoke it into existence and it will continue to change until God determines that it no longer will. The significance of what man does between now and then, doesn't even register on the scale.

I believe the climate is getting warmer every year... but not because of the usual suspects. IMO, it's the fact that we continue to asphalt and concrete dirt across the earth. I live out from town and when I used to get in the city limits, the temperature reading would go up a degree or two. Saw a documentary a few months ago about the deforestation of a country in the Far East and they showed an aerial photo from 30 years ago compared to recent photo. It was staggering to see how much forest had disappeared and been replaced with buildings - most of which would also have some form of concrete/asphalt around it.

I believe that line is going up.........

Always heard the dogwoods association with turkeys gobbling too (and it DOES have some merit), but turkeys ain't gobbling unless and until you hear whippoorwills.

Mine have been gobbling pretty regular since the last week of deer season. SW part of state. I figure they will be silent by the time the season finally opens on the 25th, due to them having sore throats from steady gobbling for the previous 50 days or so.

Nah thats what they do. They will be fine
