- The drip, drip, drip, of new snow melting in the warm morning light heralds the arrival of spring. The promise of warm sunny weather is woven in the sound of songbirds flitting through the trees. Nova Scotia's smallest owl, a Saw-whet, rests quietly among the branches. She welcomes the warmer plentiful days of spring and this will be her last winter's rest before setting out to find a mate and raise her new family in the tall stands of conifers that is her home.
- Sharing the forest, the tiny chickadee and the young moose feed among the evergreen boughs as the sunshine gives them warmth. Both moving along ever so carefree, each in their own way. The busy twitter of the chickadees, much louder than the silent whisper of branches as the moose calf slips through them.
