Today is World Wetlands Day. What better way to celebrate than to enjoy a beautiful sunny day at our wetlands at the north end of Grenadier Pond? The ducks were enjoying this big patch of open water!

While much of the winter so far has been quite warm, there are still cold nights, and squirrels need to keep their nests well maintained. Their winter homes are often a messy tangle of leaves, called a drey, high up in the branches of bare trees. The winds blow and leaves fly, so this squirrel was gathering a nice fat pile of leaves to patch up the nest.
