Point Reyes Wildflower Update

Wildflower Declare for Chimney Stone and Lighthouse Areas

After a lively breakfast at the Bovine Bakery in Sharp end Reyes Location,  the day was exhausted mainly looking at wildflowers.  Arriving at the Chimney Stone parking lot on a Friday at 9AM there were no other cars to be seen.   Chimney Stone has scenic cliffs going into the sea that make exquisite landscape photos.   I walked the chief trail out to the sharp end taking including most of the side trails as well as walking down to the boathouse and elephant stamp overlook.  Although there are no huge displays many flowers are now in blossom.   The drag along out to the point at Chimney Stone revealed over thirty natal wildflower species in efflorescence.  Some of  the most full of flowers areas are rectilinear near the parking lot and the left divarication of the main drag along just before the sharp end.  Some of the more teeming flowers were very exact specimens of Example of Spring, Douglas Rainbow, Wallflower, the hoar form of Infant-blue-eyes, Checkerbloom, Tract of land Chickweed or Bound Snow, and  California Crowfoot.  There were Elephant Seals and  Mongrel Deer in the Chimney Stone area

After leaving Chimney Stone if you make a left when you go to the chief road on your rectilinear are some nice specimens of  Seep Monkey blossom.  Continuing to the Lighthouse there is a beneficial wildflower area on the hillside definite space behind the bathrooms at Lighthouse parking lot.  I found fifteen natal species in this puny area. There was also a wiry  scintillant orange lichen on the rocks called Teloschistes flavicans. I didn’t get a photo of the lichen but did find a engraving at Wikimedia Commonalty that I have included in the slideshow.

Although I was focused on flowers, in the career of the day I did see a number of birds including Turkey Bird of prey, Raven, Red Hinder part and other Hawks, Swagger, Brewers Blackbird, Red Having wings Black-fowl, California Tremble, Song Sparrow, Of a white color-crowned Sparrow, Gulls, Breaking waves Scoter, two assemblage of Cormorants, Bufflehead.
