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.

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......
