Update of area

Several people have reported seeing bears along Tusk Trail. and lots of bear scat on the road.  The beavers seem to have vacated the pond near Tusk and the water is at a long time low.  Turtles laying eggs this week, unfortuntely foxes or coyotes are digging them up quickly.  No herron spotted this year around the island.  Baby ruff grouse have hatched and some are flying across the road.  Dragonflies are in high numbers and this is keeping the blackflies to minimal activity. But horseflies are out!  Up to 30 mm of rain possible this weekend and an update on the road will be posted on Monday.
