April Is Here, But Spring Is Not

I went to the Canada for Easter weekend. Stayed with friends in Thunder Bay, and of course it snowed on Easter. 

 For part of the snowy Easter we hung out at Tim Hortons which is kinda like a Dunkin Donuts but a little nicer. It's a big chain there, named after a hockey player of course.

 The bay at Thunder Bay....still frozen. Sleeping giant (cool land form...) is covered with fog but I promise it is across the way.

 For April Fool's Day we all dressed up as Jacques (our inappropriate French Voyager that teaches the voyageur class) and replaced our staff photos.

It snowed on the ridge over the weekend...another 5 inches.

 Still have ~20 inches of snow on the ground.

 Sap is flowing from the maple trees! It takes something like 40 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of syrup.

Went for a hike at Caribou River. Ice is slowly breaking open. 

Water Falls  on Caribou River...

Ok what's about to follow is pictures of taxidermy in progress. Don't look if you can't handle it. 

Seriously. 

Ok so we had a taxidermy seminar. Me and friend were working on a coopers hawk. 

You kinda cut open the belly. peel back skin super carefully and get everything out.
