This morning, we joined a group of people for a walk around Hidden Valley organized by Nature Regina. We were guided by naturalist Dale Hjertaas. I hadn’t been there for a while, and new marked trails have been cut through the thickets of saskatoons and chokecherries. So many wildflowers are in bloom, and I learned so much about insects and birds and, not surprisingly, plants. We even saw a spotted twohee, which I’ve heard singing (or do Merlin has told me), but had never seen. Nature Regina has more events coming up; I’m going to make a point of participating.
