Natural History Wanderings

Oregon Wildflowers  has a new report for Dog Mountain

Dog Mountain 4/21/18 Lower elevations had some bloom (30-50%) and the topmost meadows barely had any. We spotted orange paintbrush, purple Pacific trillium, either storksbill or geranium, blue-eyed Mary and a light-pink colored flower that we are unable to recognize. The yellow balsamroot is starting to bud and a week or two`s worth of sunshine might lead to a full bloom by mid-May. Good hike!
