Tall grass at Long Point Ontario, February 2024.

I was grateful to be able to walk with my parents near their home for one day this Spring. Living in BC means I don’t get to see my family as often as I like. We walked the sandy beach looking at the sandy ice piles the crashing waves made just out from the shore, making a row of islands, or a moat of still water depending on how you looked at it. We heard the (likely mating) calls of Sandhill cranes over the banks. We would walk over and through the campsite to see the flock jumping, dancing and foraging for food.

When I see them next will be in Squamish at the end of May, I’ll try and show them our herons, but they don’t always show themselves in the summer.
