Fort Whyte Alive re-opened last week as soon as they were able to and I headed there for a walk yesterday. COVID-19 restrictions had closed the facility in mid March.
While they were closed, they built a new bridge so that after going through the reception building, we walked across a lake instead of following a path to the trails. This bridge took us over to the paths though.

Then I was witness to a Canada Goose fight. There were 3 birds in the fight, so 2 would have been a pair (probably mating) and one lone Canada Goose.





I zoomed in on the nest to see if there were any eggs, but can’t say for sure.

Trail through the woods and lots of green on the trees 
My favourite little pond that has been dry for the last few years 
So much water this year in this pond.

Trails are in great shape 
Found A Garter Snake on the trail. 
Zoomed in a little more 
Finally got one with his tongue out

I was a very windy day, but the temperature was fine and it is nice to get some fresh air in the city. I still have my membership there and they extended the expiry date to cover the time they were shut down. Many businesses here have done the same thing.
