A presentaton—in journal format—of the goings on at this location. Along with photos of them are comments from some of the various flora and fauna.
This walkabout starts with the return of the "honkers" and other birds (which is a prelude to the arrival of spring in southern Manitoba).
It kicks into gear with the emergence of the flora (as temperatures rise). And includes the fauna as they show up.
