That’s right – January 28th and I’ve seen my first American robin.<\/p>\n

Bob Fraser of the Ancient Mariners Canoe Club – creators and custodians of the new Cambridge Pollinator Preserve – stopped in at the Blair Outdoor Education Centre today.

We are experiencing freezing rain today, and are expecting rain and temperatures of +11C tomorrow, having just endured a week-long cold snap with daytime highs of -14C.\u00a0 I think the birds are as confused about this weather as we humans are.<\/p>\n
