Phenology

Clear skies and sunny.  highs in the low 60's and lows in the upper 40's.  The walleye season opened last week.  Caught two 10-12 inchers.  Spotted a black bear crossing the highway south of Duluth.  First leaves have sprouted from poplar trees.  Despite the grasses "greening up", the forests are drying up quickly.  Fire danger "high" on the Gunflint Trail.
