The boys and I returned to the Reddish Knob area today. One goal was to
better document the bees at the fork in the road to Reddish Knob and
Flagpole. A number of you wrote asking if we had taken pictures. We took
photos this morning symbolizing what we saw Wednesday. The bee numbers were
somewhat reduced this morning, as we did not get any rain overnight as we
had Wednesday. The bees are obviously attracted to the moisture. You can
see the photos at this link, and read captions for guestimates:

We also saw eight species of warbler this morning, including; redstart,
black-throated green, black-throated blue, black and white, chestnut-sided,
worm-eating, yellow-rump, and Canada.
We saw four grouse, including one chick. I suspect there were other chicks
with the one bird and chick we saw.
