Naturalist log -- spring is way sprung!

Glacial view from the plane.

Heavy clouds and a bit of a drizzle on arriving at around 6pm, but the weather was warm (55 degrees F) and breezy.
The willows are already going to seed -- I could find no male catkins, only fat females catkins and a few that were already split. My first Northern Wheatear was molting out of juvenile plumage and there were a couple of sparrow fledglings begging to very messy, molting adults (thus the lack of ID). The Cotton Sedge is fully flowering, and a gorgeous large rush with sticky seeds is eagerly awaiting a hairy beast to walk past. Muskox wool is for sale for ~$60US a skein, very soft and subtle in smell.
My first wildlife sighting -- Common Ravens on a grassy bank of the Watson River.
It's 11pm and the clouds are pink and gray. Goodnight!
