Spring may be upon us....hallelujah - 10 March 2015

Did a nature walk at Fort Whyte on the 10th, weather was fantastic, saw about 40 Canada Geese and two small gaggles coming in to land. Didn't see any other migrating birds but it is still very early in Manitoba for migrating birds to be showing up.

One of the gaggles we saw coming in to land.

New addition at Fort Whyte, a bat house. Had a look through the bottom but no bats were in residence.

Sod House. Many settlers would build these as their first home on the prairie. Walls are over a foot thick, the house would be well insulated for the prairie winter.
