We have so many Robins! Their song fills the air, expecially in the early morning and at dusk - it is truly the song of summer here on the prairies. 06/07/20
Yesterday morning, the tree swallows returned - it was wonderful to see them arrive! As we sat with our morning coffee, on the first warm sunny morning of the year… the sky was suddenly filled with their amazing swallow flight! Their must have been at least 20 in the air and dipping over the lake for about an hour, then they gradually disappeared leaving this pair already moving in to their last year’s home. 05/17/20
Yesterday we did a little road trip to Hecla Provincial Park, which is an island on the west side of Lake Winnipeg, connected to the mainland by a causeway. The big lake is still wide open water but inland, the ice is beginning to settle in. In a few days this pretty little marsh will be frozen solid. It's always a treat to see the transition actually happening, almost before your eyes! 11/03/20 www.jmcqueenphoto.com
