We had a picture perfect day to visit the Blue Mountains and the views from the road reminded us all of why we live here in this beautiful area of the state. We were rewarded with birds, butterflies, wildflowers, and more. Western bluebirds and tree swallows were setting up housekeeping at many of the boxes. Although we heard more birds than we saw, we did get good looks at many of them. Wildflowers dotted the roadsides with the star being the calypso orchids. We saw nine elk, one deer, a garter snake, two Pacific tree swallows and a bear. Butterflies included anglewings, blues, cabbage whites and more. Our leader, Mike Denny, once again shared his knowledge of the natural world with everyone to help make it a very enjoyable day. Ginger
