Many of the Blogs I check regularly are putting up photos of their gardens progress this spring, fall down under. Many flowers a blooming, grass a greening, piles of leaves a raking.
So I thought I would give some idea of the conditions here on this date.
Keep in mind that the harbor is still frozen with people still ‘going off’ on ski doo.
Not a lot of a greening yet eh? Except for the evergreen spruce things have a ways to go. You can see one or two sprigs of green grass at the front; there is some slight greening of introduced species [not seen in photo].
With this rain and some heat later things will really green up quickly, how long from now is the unknown. People from away ask if I have my greenhouse up and running, I just look at them, nod to the ice and nod to the sky.
CBC has had on going coverage of tracking of the
Lesser Scaup duck program. Sounded interesting so I followed it up. Ruby Rose spent last summer in Northern Labrador; two other tagged ducks also spent time up there. The researchers say that LS being this far east is unusual. Hunter in the area say they have seen them here for years. But then maybe those were greater scaup, who knows.
Any way Ruby Rose is ahead of last years schedule and a little further north east with here track.
If the link to Ruby Rose deas not work you can go here and track her and all the other ducks.
To follow up on the Olympic McNally barge that went aground last year. Hunters passing the area say that the barge is still in the same position, frozen in.
Owners of the barge have no comment as to the status of the oil that was on board and no one has anything to say as to whether an assessment of the contents was carried out over the winter.
I’m sure I heard some one say that a check of the contents would be carried out this winter. Must have missed heard.
So would not this be a good time for the owners and the Federal agencies [responsible] to come out with an update.
