Spring has sprung for sure with pussy willows appearing along with the flowers on Trembling Aspen trees.  You can also smell the scent of Balsam Poplar buds in the air – a wonderful woodsy smell that really speaks to spring.  While the wetlands are just starting to thaw out, the geese are already here in droves fighting over the best spots to nest – which can lead to some pretty noisy confrontations!  Soon other spring birds and waterfowl will be here – all very exciting!
