Edgewood Preserve
Here are some pics from Monday's visit to Edgewood Preserve.
It's a lovely spring-like late winter day, but still a little early for wildflower blooms.
White ceanothus.
This leg of the trail.
Fragrant fritillary.
A passenger jet flies overhead.
Fresh growth on poison oak catches a beam of sunlight in the woods.
A couple of the few wildflowers in bloom: death camas, and warrior's plume.
Another part of the trail.
California blackberry.
In a small meadow, two wild turkey hens forage for acorns and other nuts, seeds and berries.
A lizard with a truncated tail basks on a lichen-covered rock.
The California thrasher, a mockingbird relative, often imitates the songs of other birds that share its chaparral habitat. It forages on the ground by sweeping its long curved bill through the leaf litter to detect and stir up insects and other small arthropods.
