Snow and frost graced Mission Creek last week, but we are only 3 weeks away from the offical start to spring now!
Seems like we certainly have a canine visitor in our park, but whether it is a fox (Vulpes vulpes) or a coyote (Canis latrans) remains to be seen. Foxes can be many colors as can coyotes, but foxes are markedly smaller than even young coyotes. Which ever the species I hope it can live peacefully in the park and not come into conflict with pet and property owners. Another great question posed this week is for Olympia natives. Which is the best climbing tree in Olympia? The question is directed towards adults, but it might be interesting to see if a special tree has been climbed by many a generation of Olympians.
Thank you for all your comments and for heralding the coming of spring. -FTW
