Since My Last Post

Since yesterday’s post I did not see anything unusual in flora and fauna realm. For the first time this year I did find and photograph blue-gray gnatcatchers. These pictures feature a male as evidenced by the black “V” on the forehead.

Along with the gnatcatcher I again saw a green heron, but not in an ideal position for photography.

Since I am sharing pictures, I might as well show some wildflowers from today too. Species are identified in the captions.
