It sounded to me as I imagine a Terradacdyl would scream. I waited for a time when out came a Mink. I suspect it was talking, in its manner, to a family nesting under the dock. This morning I left my home in Portuguese Cove in bright sunshine heading for a hike on the Wetland's Trail, Mount Uniacke Museum Park. There is no snow in this area at all. By the time I arrived at my destination it was completely overcast and snowing and with a fair bit of snow still in the woods. I donned my ice cleats and ventured forth for a very enjoyable stroll. Lots of birds were singing. White-winged Crossbill, Red-breasted Nuthatch, Golden-crowned Kinglet and Brown Creeper were the highlights. Thompson Lake is still frozen tight but Black Creek is open all the way from the lake to Highway #1. No woodpeckers were seen or heard.
