We headed to the Discovery Trail in search of signs of Spring, but what we found were signs of Winter. Ice! That was true two weeks ago. Are the city parks people telling us they know something?
Last year's information signs are so moss and mildew ridden that they are unreadable. This is the first of the new signs. I have never seen a Kingfisher here, but Cormorants, Herons, and Humming Birds are plentiful.
And these guys are everywhere. They do not even go south for winter anymore. A Canada Goose trying to fly south over the USA border will probably just get sent back anyway. No passport.
Their back feathers are amazing. They remind me of a shake shingle roof. They are nesting and mating these days and are very noisy. There are too many and should be harvested. Fish Trap Creek Park and the Discovery Trail have been renamed by the locals. Goose Poop Loop. We always clean our shoes when we get home from a walk in that part of town.
