No black flies yet in Fort Kent area. This week Spring really came to the St. John Valley. We had a 72.3 F. day and two non-freezing nights. That really helped take down the snow in the woods. It is not all gone yet.
Snowshoe hares have white legs still.
From the front, when sitting, they look white on the bottom. When the back is to you they look all brown except the white edge on the ears. Trailing arbutus and trout lilies beginning to flower. The pussy willows are flowering. We saw 5 bears in the Allagash area last evening during a calling amphibian run.
