Morning North5:57Backroads Bill - signs of spring
The first robin sighting is often considered a sign of spring. Adventurer Bill Steer, a.k.a. Backroads Bill, has his own signs of spring from the backroads of Northern Ontario. He shared three of those signs with us.
Sandhill cranes can be found in fields from Chapleau to the Soo, and every where in between, Backroads Bill says. (Bill Steer)
Backroads Bill talks about his favourite waterfalls, including the High Falls waterfall near Timmins. (Bill Steer)
