Enough Already with the Wildflowers!
Lily of the Trout –better late than never
As is well-known by most folks who go outside, this time of year is birding prime time, with all sorts of new species arriving by the day.
Alas, I am becoming increasingly distracted — and annoyed — by all the weensy wildflowers that have popped up in the Celery Farm of late.
How am I supposed to look for birds when all these darned flowers get in the way?
I know the whitish jobs are Spring Beauties, but what about the other two pix? Can you help?
