April 24 - Lambs Canyon Rd

Partly cloudy day in the mid-50s. It's beautiful day except the north wind is a bit nippy.

Heading back to Lambs Canyon to see what may be flying today.

First of all, the road is pretty much melted out to the trail head. There are large patches of snow in spots but there enough clear road that one does not have to walk on snow anymore. Yea!

Two, those black moths with one spots are still flying and I'm am able to finally get a photo of one.

Not as many of those small orange moths out today.

Also out are the Mourning Cloaks (I counted 4 along the road), Satyr Commas,

and Green Commas!!

I actually think there were more Green Commas out than Satyr Commas.

I took a brief walk along the trail and it's changing to as the first part that winds through the trees is partially snow free; pretty exciting.

But once I reach the straight part, of course, it's still snowy. And it's either hard icy snow or very soft so I don't make it nearly as far because I get tired of banging my shins as I post hole.

However, I see butterflies!! Two to be exact! One Mourning Cloak

and one Green Comma.

Both are on a 10 foot stretch of trail. Awesome!

On the way back, I find my first blooming Spring flower of the year - Bluebell

Good Day!
