From earlier, our first daffs out, the wild types which have been in this position for at least sixty years. For a while, February Gold used to precede them, but these have been the earliest for a few years now, though the date can vary by weeks.

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.
Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.
