01/20/26 - Signs of Springs at the Dungeness Dike

It was almost spring like at the Dungeness Dike. It was a bright sunny day, and we had started at the schoolhouse rather than near the creamery. There was an eagle on display and bright shiny water. We were sure it was still winter, but we saw some Queen Anne's lace in bloom, a wooly bear caterpillar out crossing the trail and, to our great surprise, the first skunk cabbage of the year. It has been a mild winter, so maybe this isn't as odd as we think.
