A lovely afternoon

It took a while but after a showery morning, this afternoon was beautiful....


we decided to take the walk in the opposite direction from our usual, this one runs along the edge of the Harrison River, heading to where it joins the Fraser way out there.

It was pretty quiet for birds....


but the sun and scenery was lovely

and we found the first 'wild flowers' ....


the native 'Indian Plum' shrub was coming into flower.

Since it was so nice, we then continued on along the route we normally take and to show that spring is definitely on it's way....


this pair of Northwestern Crow were building a nest!


and there were lots of American Robin again.


we had seen one Downy Woodpecker down the other end of the walk (and heard a pair of Pileated), this male Downy was up the other way, mixed in with the robins.


Song Sparrow have been with us all winter, but are now venturing out from the shelter of the blackberry bushes.
