Sept 3 - Lambs Canyon Road

 Sunny day with highs in the 90s.

Heading up after work to walk Lambs Canyon Road. Yea, I know I can just walk the trail but I'm curious what might be flying along the road. It's late in a very dry season but you never know.

I arrive between 3-3:30 and park at the gate. I grab my pack and start walking up the road.

I quickly find a couple of Woodland Skippers.

Most of the vegetation is dry. There's a few patches of purple asters and some yellow composites but it's pretty barren.

Lots of berries 

and rose hips.

Just me and the still running stream (and a couple of cars).

When I arrive on the wet area before the trail head, I find a Field Crescent. And oh, there's another one.

I find a few more Woodland Skipper around the parking lot.

But the muddy sections (and yes, there's still muddy sections) contain only bees and wasps.

Time to head back.

Find a Colorado Hairstreak flying - no picture.

Not and exciting walk but it felt good.
