Finally heard the BC Chickadees singing in our area, and the lovely Mourning 
Dove song was evident! Also, a couple of days ago, I noted a Dark-eyed Junco 
apparently carrying nesting material - a beakful of what looked like pine 
needles.  Seemed to me a tad early for nest building, especially considering 
that, believe it or not, we still have a foot of snow on our front lawn!
A 7-km hike on a few of the trails at Uniacke Estates yesterday was like a 
mid-winter walk except for the relatively mild temperature.  Snow still 
covered most of the Red Spruce, Barrens and Post Trails.  Birds were 
virtually absent so I spent my time taking close-up looks at lichens!!
