I also mentioned that I would try and get a picture of the female flowers on the Hazelnut tree. No easy task, you practically have to have a magnifying glass to see them, but if you examine the ends of some of the buds closely, they are there. The one in this photo is not more than 2 mm across...so it's very tiny, but if successfully pollinated will produce a nice hazelnut--which the Stellar's Jays will usually get before us.
What a spectacular day in Bella Coola, too bad we weren't hosting that snowboard event that went off in the fog at the Olympics, we had clear blue skies, morning frost, no wind and a high of 10 C. Not bad for our neck of the woods. I checked the Cathedral Point weather station (Burke Channel) and they had pretty steady outflow winds in the 40 + km/hr range - with some gusts up to 54 km/hr, but no sign of east wind in these parts.
