billprantyDescription
With Don Fraser; a visit to see what was around (answer: no mucho). The only nectar sources were some goldenrods and Rosy Camphorweeds. the last few blooming Nuttall's Thistles, and Tarflower, which is blooming much more than a week ago. Insects were scarce. Despite the rains of a week ago, there remains virtually no standing water. We first iNatted the helipad, which was under-whelming, so we drove the entirety of 3 Bridges Road, much of Indigo Drive, and some of Gopher Road looking for nectar sources. The weather at the start (0955) was sunny and 86 degrees ("feels like" 96) with a light breeze. By the time we left, at 1410, the temperature was 92 "feels like" 101).
