Despite the fact that the weather has been much colder than normal for the time of year (we even had some light snow flurries again yesterday) spring is progressing....
this was yesterday morning over at the log bay. You can see how low the water levels are. I think this time last year people were kayaking already!
there were 3 Goldfinch, 2 males like this guy, and a female. The first ones we've seen this spring.
Mid-day, wandered over again and was treated by seeing,
this, a Townsend's Solitaire. We only see these grey, robin sized birds during migration in spring and sometimes again in the fall.
This morning we we headed out for our walk, either the same, or another one was at the first bay.....
and was able to get a better picture.
On the one dry day last week, we went to East Sector Park near Harrison to see how the plants were progressing....
the Trillium were in full flower......
while the Bleeding Hearts were just starting to flower.
and the False lily of the Valley are beginning to carpet the forest floor.
We haven't made it to Kilby for a few days, but with a week of sunshine and warmer temperatures promised, hopefully we will make it soon.
