I heard my first American Robin
singing on April 10th though the first was reported in Tagish in southern
Yukon on April 7th.

we still have lots of snow, although it is beginning to melt in the
valley. In my yard it has mainly cleared from areas under the trees but all
the open areas are still covered. It is still going below freezing every
night. It was -8C this morning but we have 18 hours of daylight now.

We still have lots of Common Redpolls around and the Slate Coloured Juncos
are also common at my feeders.


I found the first flower blooming on Sunday. The prairie crocus (Pulsatilla
patens), spring is slowly creeping up on us.
