We only have a couple of maples close enough to the house to tap but we enjoy making the little bit of maple syrup that we can from the sap.

Went for a 7 hour hike in the woods today. Surprised one of the biggest black bears I’ve ever seen and a covey of grouse. Found chaga on a yellow birch. People make a tea from it that is purported to fight cancer.

It’s relaxing being out in the woods as things are waking up. You can hear the brook and a woodpecker having breakfast. People think that woodpeckers destroy trees but the trees are most likely already infested with something and that is why they are there collecting a meal. #woodpecker

Just in case you were wondering what moose droppings look like. They’re pretty much just sawdust from all the twigs and bark they’ve been eating through the winter. #moose #canadianspring

Some beavers moved to the brook behind the house. Heard a barred owl today and saw some moose tracks. Maybe we’ll get some herons back if the pond gets big enough.

Today’s critter tracks most likely belong to a raccoon, lovingly referred to as trash pandas by irritated homeowners. The front paws (top right) are smaller with delicate “fingers” great at manipulating latches and crayfish. The hind paws (bottom left) have an elongated heel and long skinny toes.
