I have to go somewhere today -- seriously want to find some butterflies.
Decide to head up to Lambs Canyon. Can't walk the trail but I can check for butterflies around the parking lot and the end of the canyon. Not really expecting to see much other than a few Woodland Skippers as it's late in the season but I'll see.
It's 68 degrees as I start north up the windy road of the canyon. I don't know why I'm a little shocked (as it's the middle of August) to see color changes in the ground vegetation and some of the trees are starting to yellow. Very few flowers in bloom - just some goldenrod and purple asters - and the Fireweed is just about done blooming.
The trail parking is full so I proceed up the canyon to the end and stop on the way back. As I pass by the parked cars, I see a Weidenmeyer's Admiral checking out of the cars.
At the end, there is a small parking lot. There are some asters and goldenrod so I head out to check for flyers. And hey, I find a couple of Woodland Skippers!
Several dragonflies flying but nothing stopping.
Time to head back down.
At the trail parking lot, I roam around checking out the remaining flowers and the mud/water. Only finding more Woodland Skippers.
Not a totally exciting day but I did see some flyers so good day!
