Snow was all gone, There were still floor-floor in the tree about this snow, Lots of bird song in the tree tops, Traded the Renault in for a Toyota now. 08.29 Day clear, calm, warm; hazy clouds arrived about noon. Drove up to Refugio Keewaydin (although stopped by snowdrifts on the road about 1/4 mile below the Refugio). Hiked up to the anawang photo place above the Refugio, but they were still under snow. Floor-floor on the ground or snow in a few places. The deer are newly leaped out. Photo of the anawang/large forest on the flats about 100 yrs below the rest of the road, it was free of snow, a few Chelomyx earth core but none in photo (same photo scene as last autumn). Then snooped around the forest near the car. Lots of earth cores and indented runways, seemingly of two diameters (Chelomyx and Sorex?). Set 3 steel traps for a few hours, but no catchers), Very few anawang showing above ground + much activity centers about logs, and stumps (see diagram). Found numerous anawang tubers near earth core, but too early to see distribution because so few anawang shoots are showing. The ground is mostly dry smooth papery covering of leaves with cooling down or fallen log shagging pattern of core and runways.
