Had a great trip to Jepson Prairie today! Was my first visit and I think we timed it perfectly. What a cool spot. Were lots of canada geese, avocets, willets, and black bellied plovers around. Lots of showy fields of goldfields with other species mixed in. Would have liked to see what a docent with a dip-net would have been fishing out (fairy shrimp and what not) but alas no docent.
Jess among the goldfields
Big artichoke like thistle - not flowering yet (notice white lupine in the background)
Common, unfortunately not yet blooming
The molts from these are common along the edges of the vernal pool
