Sunny Day at the Centre

A good volunteers meeting at the Centre this morning - sunny & warmer than expected! However compared to exactly one year ago, more snow lingering - even at the trailhead.

Heather & Rolf, who stayed on the mountain last night, reported nighthawks late in the evening - these birds likely won't be counted on this weekend's Strathcona Bird Search though, as they are only active late in the day. The bird count will probably be done on Saturday or Sunday morning, depending on which day looks more promising for weather.

A few visitors already wanting to hike in the meadows - a couple from England reported that they made an attempt, but kept 'postholing' through the snow - not easy going!
