Thursday- first 2 trumpeter swans spotted on the Kenai Flats, snow completely gone from the front yard
We have also been watching a pair of hawks gliding by our house. Not sure what species they are. We think the darker one is a juvenile sharp-shinned hawk and the lighter one is a male Northern Harrier. We are seeing less moose by the roadside, which means the break up is almost done. Not much snow left. Everyone, including us, thought we've have snow clear into May. But with all the sun we have had as of late, the snow has evaporated quickly. We went hiking at the Wildlife Refuge on Sunday. There is still some snow along the trail, but most of it is gone, exposing all the scat from the fall and early winter. In the early evening, we walked down to the beach and watched the eagles and gulls.
