The bird feeder we installed over the winter is a bit hit this Spring. We even have a family of birds living in the birdhouse our oldest son built. Babies should be appearing soon, we think.
One thing I didn't realize was that all of the smaller birds disappear over the winter here. The ravens and crows chase them all away. It's pretty cold for them here anyway, so it's probably best that they head South like they do. Sure explains why there was no activity at the bird feeder all winter though! I was starting to get disappointed thinking that no birds would ever find it and pay us a visit!
The crab apple tree we planted last spring is just gorgeous! I had no idea it would produce so many flowers. The smell is heavenly, and it's the first thing I notice on my way up the walkway from the drive.
Enjoy some photos of Springtime in Northern Alberta:
