Second Spring

After a winter-like October, the first 3 weeks of November have seemed almost like a second spring. The wildlife in Confederation Park, seem to be treating it as such. The redpolls, house finches, blue jays are among those enjoying the relatively balmy temperatures. The magpies seemed content to lounge around, curiously watching what Yola would coax out of the tall grass. Meanwhile, the resident muskrat was using the bonus extension of open water to gather some twigs and grass for his creekside larder.
