Natural History Wanderings

The Plumas County Bloom blog has a new posting for wildflower bloom along the North Side of Spanish Creek between Oakland Camp and Gibson Creek by Joe Willis:

There must be 50 or more species of flowers blooming and a rapid increase in the variety of insect and spider visitors. We also caught a gopher snake and some lizards. I’m just including the larger blooms that one can spot while walking fast or driving. If you crawl around on the ground or walk very slowly you’ll discover many more species.

To see plants in bloom with photos and older reports go to the  Bloom Blog Wildflowers.
