Natural History Wanderings

Eddie Bartley reports

Temblor Range by Eddie Bartley

Carrizo Plain was off the hook colorful; Soda Lake as full as we’ve seen it; quite cool mostly from the breeze which made birding a bit challenging; peak bloom over the next couple of weeks is my guess. Mostly Hillside Daisy, filaree, phacelia, goldfields, fiddlenecks, a few Tidy-tips, couple of hillside and patches of Baby Blue-eyes at Carrizo; Pinnacles NM had a very different mix of buttercups, lupine, shooting stars, milk maids, paintbrush, etc.
