We had a string of very warm days (high of 28 C!) so spring has had a real jumpstart. My Nanking cherry tree is blooming, and my sour cherries are just starting to burst.
We walked to Scout Island and spotted the first goslings.
There were only 3 goslings but a minute later I spotted another family with maybe 12 goslings.
Patti and I are in training for a walk around PEI in the fall so we've been hiking down the creek valley, increasing our mileage every week. We are up to 11 km this week.
When we are down in the valley so often we start to really notice the changes as spring advances.
In the burn area I noticed these bright yellow flowers.
Corydalis
Hoping this is the first of many wildflowers to pop up after the fire. Maybe we'll get morels!
Patti spotted an eagles' nest right above the road with an eagle sitting on it.
Bad closeup. White spot is eagle's head.
And we also spotted a new osprey nest being built on a hydro pole. There were two ospreys working on the nest and another circling overhead. I assume the third osprey was not happy with a new pair moving into its territory.
Spot the osprey in this poor photo.
