Swan Rangers remained fixed on wildflowers, and critters, during their outings this past week!

Scroll down to see the Rangers' photos and details!

In our lead photo, Keith Hammer caught a Western meadowlark celebrating the day alongside some Arrowleaf balsamroot while . . .

. . . this bull Bison was taking a more relaxed approach to the day!

Lynn Smith came across a 5-petal Trillium, which belies its name and usual 3-petal, 3-leaf status!

Lynn also reminds us that those little Huckleberry blossoms are turning into berries and that . . .

. . . Meadow rue blossoms are simply amazing!

Debra Schweitzer shows us some Arnica in bloom while . . .

. . . Keith Hammer shows us some Bitterroot buds that are about to open!

Ruth Quist shows us some Serviceberry blossoms and . . .

. . . some Horsetail!

Pam Willison found some Coralroot about to open!

Keith Hammer switches us back from flora to fauna with this photo of a well camouflaged baby Killdeer . . .

. . . a Spotted towhee bathing in a puddle . . .

. . . and a Lewis's woodpecker!

In our parting shot, Debra Schweitzer reminds us to look up once in a while when looking for wildflowers!

If you have interesting photos of your outings, send them along with a description to keith@swanview.org and we'll try to work them into these weekly reports!
