The short cold days of winter here in Vernon have made it challenging for a novice weekend enthusiast like myself to spy wildlife out and about. Except for a plethora birds and squirrels at the feeders, the bunny that lives under my brush pile, and the occasional skunk, I have had to be content with finding signs of animals that I had somehow managed to miss. Deer and racoon tracks, felled trees, woodpecker holes and a sizable bone found by a student at recess had been until today the closest that I had come to seeing a wild animal.
This afternoon I took the dogs to the Vernon Rec. where I finally found wildlife that seemingly had been waiting for warmer weather and the arrival of Vernon's children. - Norma Manning
