Observed my first spring 2018, Coltsfoot in bloom on April 12.  Several =
are located along the eroding, south-facing slopes along Blue Beach Road =
near Avonport.=20

About a week age, in the same vicinity, Pussy Willows are showing =
nicely.=20

Also, April 11th, I=E2=80=99ve observed male alder catkins shedding =
pollen when disturbed, and the female "flower structures" on the same =
branch are well developed, and showing their reddish colour and =
stickiness.
