Natural History Wanderings

Pierre reports

Last week there were nice fields of lupine blooming along Hwy 128 in the hills by Putah Creek above Lake Solano (5 miles west of Winters in Yolo County). Looked like the lupine, and some brodea and poppies in this pretty oak grassland would last for at least another week.

Here’s a couple of photos taken on 3/9 and 3/12/15.  These south facing fields in view from the road are private property, but there is public land further up the canyon at Stebbins Cold Canyon Reserve (north facing with a later bloom).

PLEASE Respect Private Property and Only Take Photos From The Road
