Hello,
A week back ie Wednesday (2 April) had seen few coltsfoot flowers
in bloom & others just raising their heads by a trail in undisturbed forest patch situated in Clayton park at crossing of linear trail
and Langbrae.

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
