My agenda compelled me to check the orchids a bit earlier this year. As expected the Showy Lady's Slipper Orchid is ahead of schedule with about 50% of the flowers in bloom, albeit not to full size as yet. On route to and from the park we found White Irises and Yellow Irises in the road side ditches. These were the first White Irises we've seen in Nova Scotia. The birds in Smiley's Provincial Park were singing quite briskly between 1PM and 2PM during our visit. It is my experience that while bird song diminishes with many species during nesting it resumes again when the young fledge.
