Common Yellowthroat, Sessile Trillium, California Poppies and more

[Don Boucher]

Hello,

I rode to Albany last Wednesday (April 7) to my 1st COVID vaccine and took the long way home. On Riverside Drive, I saw my first Sessile Trilliums and heard a Common Yellowthroat calling. On Hwy 34, near Peoria Rd., I saw my first California Poppy blossoms.

The other attached photos are from our garden in NE Corvallis, including a precocious Common Camas (Camassia quamash).
