set out this morning for a walk, hoping the snow squalls would hold off....
so far, so good, the weather stayed almost as dry as the poor log bay is these days!
this trio of Killdeer were poking about in the bay...
a few of the usual were around like this Song Sparrow....
and this Fox Sparrow. Don't recall as many Fox Sparrows in past years as we have had this year, wonder if any will stay around?
After lunch we headed over for a walk at Harrison Bay....
after a damp start, it wasn't too bad - notice how green it is getting....
lots of activity in the fields...well over a hundred Canada Geese, lots of Mallard, Northern Pintail and a few American Wigeon. There had also been one family of Trumpeter Swans still there.
still masses of American Robins too....
Not sure where this came from!!!! We have had some strong winds but this must have blown quite a distance.
As we headed back...
the weather rapidly deteriorated....
wind, rain and hail.....of course by the time we got to the truck - we were soaked - and the weather was clearing. Ahh spring!
One note: apparently a Rufous Hummingbird was seen in Maple Ridge yesterday, so they are on their way - keep eyes open!
