After what has been a long and slow spring, we are now starting to see the leaves burst out all over the Sanctuary.  Along with that have come some of our favourite birds of summer including the Tree Swallows and the Wilson’s Snipe that makes a curious ‘winnowing’ sound you hear in the sky above the Sanctuary as the birds dive.  The Canada Geese have been here for a good month already and they are now appearing with the brightly coloured chicks in tow.
