ESCOBAR WALK
A walk today, early afternoon; in the order they appeared to us; plants needed to be in bloom:
Western Bluebird, Shooting Star (D. clevelandii), Red Maids, Manroot, Fremont's lilly, Indian Warrior, Leatherwood, Erodium, Ceanothus, Lasthinia, American Kestrel,(my first at the Ridge in several years), Lomatium utriculatum & dasycarpum, Linanthus, White-tailed Kite, Northern Flicker, CA Buttercup, Brown Towhee, Gold-crowned Sparrow.
My favorite today was seeing the Kestrel. Flew right over our heads about 30 feet off the ground. In the open Serpentine grassland.
