Date of sighting: 5/29/11
On Sunday morning the wildflowers were covered in an inch or two of new snow from the night before. Flowers blooming along the Lee Vining Creek Trail included bitterbrush, desert peach, paintbrush, arrowleaf balsamroot, larkspur, death camas, serviceberry, sulfur buckwheat, and rayless daisy.
Birds were very active, including orioles and Wilson’s Warblers. An Osprey carrying a very long stick flew low over the trail, fighting the gusty winds, flying very awkwardly, towards Old Marina.
