It's very windy today and I was out on my IBA survey so I've been busy with bird photos too!<BR/><BR/>Diane, thank you for the info! I have heard of Mormon tea but I did not know it looked like that!<BR/><BR/>Deborah, are you warm also? I'm always glad to have you along for the hike!<BR/><BR/>TS Annie, it is so good to feel better!<BR/><BR/>SLW, you are welcome! Thanks for visiting my blog!<BR/><BR/>Gaelyn, it was a nice walk, thank you. I did see a lot of birds and they are busting out all over all of a sudden! I have so many to post about right now!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Larry, I am with you there. I love to meet new people but I also enjoy my time alone and I see more birds by myself because when I am with others there is too much talking and laughing going on!

That is why I don't enjoy birding field trips as much as going out on my own. I enjoy group field trips for the social aspects but not as much for the nature and birding aspects.Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17955054342034509500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8337291898556479782.post-10933267071777743142009-03-25T20:40:00.000-07:002009-03-25T20:40:00.000-07:00Kathie, I'm so glad you felt better and could get ...Kathie, I'm so glad you felt better and could get outside for a nature fix. I sympathise with that need. As always, your walk was delightful and I felt like I was there. So nice to have trails so close to home, even if not very remote. And you saw sooo many birds. Don't forget your sunblock.Gaelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05784162697113288888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8337291898556479782.post-6648724801331000822009-03-25T16:59:00.000-07:002009-03-25T16:59:00.000-07:00A very impressive walk and list!

As for the chocolate flowers, yes, they do look like black-eyed susans, but the blossom is smaller and the center is not so wide or as dark brown. And I'm still trying to see if I've identified them correctly. Glad you came along.Kathie Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377224759599266209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8337291898556479782.post-82275052862261854482009-03-25T07:39:00.000-07:002009-03-25T07:39:00.000-07:00Roy, glad you like the flowers.
