This time of year it's a good bet to check the Kah Tai prairie for new wildflowers once a week, or every ten days or so as upcoming flowers are coming on at a rapid pace.

Five days after my last visit on April 4th, I noted more blooming Lithophragma , a dainty white flower, more blooming Geum triflorum, the first Western Buttercups (a well behaved native unlike the horrendous invasive European Ranunculus repens) and also the first Chocolate Lily budding out.

A bird note: first singing Savannah Sparrow.
