Harbinger of Spring

at Garbry Big Woods Sanctuary...

“Look for a few of these fingernail-sized flowers on the boardwalk loop.  Just beyond the flowers and between two benches, there is debris left by a busy Pileated Woodpecker, searching for food. Look around for the dead log where the bird might have been checking for ants.  Have fun welcoming spring, no matter how cold it is.”
