On Thursday morning at 7 a.m. April 14th, 2005 I heard and then saw
our first robin.

Today (Friday, april 15th) a cold, strong west wind is keeping all
birds out of the sky. However, our snow is now gone and the grass is
beginning to turn green! Soon the farmers will roll out their giant
air-seeders and begin planting Canola, wheat, barley, flax, oats, and
peas for another year.

The Snow Geese and Canada Geese have arrived back in large numbers.
