Hi there, I went for a walk in Shubie Park in Dartmouth this evening after work. It was a beautiful warm spring day but by 6 p.m. there was a cool breeze coming off Lake Micmac. There was still a bit of snow in the woods, and the trails were wet and even slushy in places. There were some beaver-harvested tree stumps along the canal which looked like recent work. I didn't see any Coltsfoot in bloom, but the catkins on the Speckled Alders were fully extended and some were releasing pollen. Buds are well-formed on the Mayflowers. Three handsome male Common Mergansers were out on the lake, but nothing else stood out among the Blacks and Mallards. The only migrant bird I detected was a single Robin. However it was nice to hear a Cardinal singing near Lock 2. This seems to be a regular place for them now. Cheers, Patricia L. Chalmers Halifax
