Groundhog Day predictions about the coming of spring put the spotlight on Punxsutawney Phil every Feb. 2, but celebrating the midpoint between the shortest and darkest day of the year and the spring equinox has ancient roots in European agricultural life.

Masha Zabara marveled at what happened to the forest once deer weren’t around to decimate the understory.
In the fenced 13-acre site in Southern Columbia County, in New York, wildflowers had become reestablished. Tupelo and sassafras trees rose head high. Red maple stump sprouts and oak saplings thrived.
“It was like stepping out to another planet,” Zabara said.

Loons are on the mend in Maine, filling more of the state’s lakes and ponds with their haunting calls, although conservationists say the birds aren’t out of the woods yet.
