there was lots of activity along the trail, lot's of Black Capped Chickadee's and
Gold-crowned Kinglets....none terribly cooperative for picture taking...
however the biggest sign of spring....
was a pair of Song Sparrows, nest building. Unfortunately I couldn't catch the female carrying nesting material but I know where the nest is being built at the base of some Pink Spirea bushes and only a couple of feet off of the trail, so a reminder - keep you pets, kids and yourselves on trails....it is that time of the year!
Here is the other half of the Song Sparrow pair.
In the afternoon we ventured a bit further afield to East Sector park near Harrison Hot Springs....wanted to see if there was any sign of Trillium yet - there wasn't, but did find one or two...
Skunk Cabbage in bloom...there were also a very few Salmon berries showing colour. Not actually in flower, yet, but close.
Tomorrow is a supposed to be sunny so will be watching the skies as Tree Swallows were reported in Delta today....we've usually seen there here by now...maybe tomorrow.
