what's blooming now

my first trip back to fairfield since the end of may. things are blooming like crazy, including the tail end of the camas. these are in the field behind the house-

don't know what this is yet-

this is a camas

these look like phlox, but have large flowers

fleabane

we found these on a short hike this morning behind the ski area.

western peony 

unidentified

potentilla

wild geranium

mountain bluebell

a couple more not sure

silverleaf phacelia

a field of camas

sky

and the birds- a snipe (true!)

sandhill cranes

we're trying to indentify this one

the swainson's hawks eggs have hatched- i saw one little head pop up, but didn't get the shot. this is mom hanging by the nest ( i think)

and dad doing the lookout

steve's headed up next weekend, my next trip is 4th of july- when we'll have a full house for music, fireworks, hiking, biking & general mayhem. hope the neighbors don't mind the tent colony in the back yard! :)
