On Earth day, April 22, I hiked up Through Gowlland Tod Provincial Park to the top of Jocelynn hill. I started from Emma Dixon Trail and continued up the little jocelynn ridge to the main ridge trail that over looks the Saanich Inlet. From there I dropped down the steep hillside to about 300 feet from the oceanside. Lots of wildflowers are out now.
Every step I had to watch I didnt step on any wildflowers, impossible.

There were lots of
Orange-crowned warblers singing, as well as a hooting
Sooty Grouse. I could hear geese calling across the sound but I couldnt find them, I think they were
Greater-white Fronted Geese migrating north.

Up at the top of Jocelynn Hill there was the Goldstar blooming. This is the only place in the park, and probably victoria that they grow.
