Natural History Wanderings

I went up to Blake Garden shortly after it opened.  I was completely in flower photography  mode but couldn’t help notice that birds and bird song plentiful.  I did see or hear California Towhees, Dark-eyed Juncos, Bewick’s Wren, Scrub Jays, Anna’s Hummingbird, House Finch, and there were many bird sounds and views I didn’t identify. I will have to go back and do a birding only day. Blake is a good garden to do close-up photography. There is a cutting garden and a number of large blooms throughout the garden. It was very peaceful as there were only a few visitors and gardeners there today. As plants were not labeled and I am weaker on garden plants I used mainly common names and some are guesses. Corrections welcome and encouraged.
