Young black bears, fresh from winter's slumber, ponder their likeness on a totem pole before a cedar plank lodge as a bald eagle stands watch overhead. Other early risers include skunk cabbage in full yellow flower, false lily-of-the-valley in bud stage, red flowering current, trillium, Oxalis, and sword ferns under a canopy of mammoth old-growth western red cedar, Douglas fir and Sitka spruce.
