Okay the weather sucks, even when we can get out to see something there is nothing to see. We have been out for two days now and all we see is raptures, don't get me wrong I love a good killing bird but I'm in the mood for something new.

The weather was making it look as if spring was going to be really early but now the past three weeks or so its been below zero and the wind has rarely been anything but from the north so now it looks as if we are back on track.

We went for a short ride yesterday and the Snow Geese have made their appearance, we saw at least 7 flocks of about 50 birds each. They are still really high so in a couple of days they should be close enough for the hunters to start shooting. It's kind of funny birding while they are falling from the sky.

When we were out we were stopped by a group of people from another community and they told us of a Polar Bear they had seen. We looked at each other like, no way, and there are reasons for not believing 1. the bay is still covered in ice 2. the bay is still covered in ice and 3. the bay is still covered in ice. We may get the odd straggler bear when the ice breaks up into floes but that is very rare and it is usually a bear in trouble, bad teeth, too old, too young it could be anything but that also means that if that hungry bear was walking by a goose camp full of all those smells there would have been dead people or a least a dead bear. Later in the day we heard that it was a Barren Land Grizzlie and the people from parks got pictures of it. Now that makes sense. Then we were wondering if the people from out of town thought that Polar Bears turned brown when it wasn't winter like an Arctic Hare or a Ptarmigan, anything is possible I suppose.
