Spring AzureI was off early today, so I took advantage of the nice weather and too a walk at Reid CA. There was not much bird activity (three or four Yellow-rumped Warblers), so I looked for other things such as wildflowers. As well, I saw five species of butterflies. The most noteworthy was a Juvenal's Duskywing. It is early for this species. None of the butterflies co-operated for a photo except the Spring Azure.
Many wildflowers are out early, needles to say. The above one I am not sure. There was a type of Solomon's Seal there though.I found a Blue Phlox in bloom.
Wild Blue Phlox Lots of Trout Lily was out, including the white form.
Trout Lillies (white form) with Spring Beauty
Trout Lilly Just before I left, I notice a bird doodling on the road in the distance. Can you tell what it is?
It eventually went off to the side......

Blake, wow... great catch on the American Woodcock. I've been trying to photograph one at Ojibway since early April. I hear them just before dusk, but I just can't see one in the grass. I also photographed some wildflowers today.
