2 May 2021, Spring is here

Reached Scattergood at 3 pm. About 15 deg, sunny, moderate breeze. Very little birdsong - just robin and winter wren. Two Yellow-rumped Warblers and two Turkey Vultures near cottage. One snapping Turtle and several Painted Turtles hauled out on logs at Clifford Lake. No sign of beavers at the Scattergood outflow. Trilliums just coming into flower, including both red and white. Trailing arbutus in flower near Clifford Lake. A few mosquitoes, but not biting. Many stoneflies in flight over the lake. Both of our plastic chairs have blown off the dock into the water.
