An interesting question was raised by our biologist on today's field trip. Will Piute ground squirrels eat eggs from unattended nests? Other ground squirrels do.
Plants gave off a strong odor.
One of many fresh badger digs. This part of Idaho has the highest concentration of American badgers in the world.
This is the first time I've seen these plants produce any blooms in three years. We've had a wet winter and spring. Boise has received 12 months worth of precipitation in the last 6 months.
