Natural History Wanderings

Desert USA has an Arizona post:

“Spring Trail in Sabino Canyon in Tucson on Feb. 26…. the Sonoran National Park today, March 2, along the Esperanza Trail on the east side of the saddle. About half way up from the Ez-Kim-In-Zin picnic area at the trail head the poppies and lupin are covering the hill side. Both of these locations have lots of flowers along several trails and across large areas on the hill sides – mostly at the higher altitudes. On both days we’ve seen at least a dozen different varieties of wild flowers.”

Mojave National Preserve – Amboy Area: “The area is very dry and very little in bloom. The Amboy area and Sheephole pass has nothing at this time.”
