The snow has returned to give us one last chance at our winter activities but by mid week temperatures are predicted to be on the rise. Bird migration is definitely underway with eagles and other raptors as well as geese and a few other waterfowl leading the way. Horned larks join the snow buntings in the open fields and gravel roads. Near our southern border, some are already reporting seeing the hardiest of our returning warblers - the yellow rumped.
The City Nature Challenge is set for April 28 to May 1- four days to find wild things living near your in company with others all round the globe. If you join a project, your iNaturalist notifications will include the event journal posts. These often give you updates about event activities.
