Mt. Finlayson, San Juans 5/4

Did not appear to be wild, most likely introduced. In circular clumps about a foot or so in diameter, with about 20 or so white flowers with orange-reddish centers with tall grass interspersed in the circular clump

A shrub standing alone in a prairie like ecosystem about 8 feet tall. Green stems with leaves coming off in an alternate branching attached to twiglike stalks. At the end of the green stems coming of the brownish-purple stalks there are clumps of very small white flowers.

I found a type of red caterpillar's nest located on the branch of a what appeared to be some sort of rose. The caterpillar was very small, and a sort of orangish color, on the tent like structure made out of layers of silk.

Very common on the side of the trail, it was about 6 inches tall with the flowers branching off the stem alternately. The flowers were purple-blue with yellow tips of the stamens. Most of the flowers were still opening, with a few that had opened all the way. Each flower had 6 petals.

A fox was seen across the road at the beginning of the hike. A rusty red color with a very bushy tail that ended in a white clump. Holding one of the back legs up in a limp, but it would not let us get very close to it. Once we passed it crossed the road and went into the woods.

Initially drooping downwards in a sort of bell shape, this flower's petals are yellow at the center, and begin to be spotted by a purplish-brown along the edges until near the tip it is almost completely that color.

A short plant probably about 6 inches off the ground it had a relatively thick green stem, with small white flowers coming off the main stem at about a 30 degree angle up on short shoots that, becoming more dense at the top, where they round out and form a sort of cone of dense flowers at the top of the plant. In a wind blown prairie area on the coast, a sort of bluff.

A small hairy plant with a brown stalk that stood between half a foot and a foot high. Stems came off occasionally ending in thin, hairy leaves in groups of four or five that pointed up. The flowers were located at the tip of the plant, with only three purplish blue pea-like flowers

Flying upwind, I saw two eagles gliding with flat wings, not upward, v-shaped wings, and although they were relatively far away I believe that I saw a speck of white on their heads, indicating it to be a bald eagle.

A single, hairy stalk that stood about 2 feet high, in a more wet forest right by a lagoon. Small white flowers drooping down with long stamens coming out. The flowers came off in what appeared to be a pretty random fashion. Near the base there were leaves that came in groups of three, and had a sort of rounded, multiple tips.

A single pink flower on a pinkish-purple stalk that curved at the top where the flower attached. A couple petals pointed upwards, while one sort of pouch droops below with one petal slightly covering the pouch opening. Found in a wet forest area near a lagoon.

A very red pant with red stalk and with small, white flowers surrounded by larger red petals. At a close look, you can see how the flowers are in an orchid shape, with a the white part of the flower being a very small pouch, and the red petals covering the top of it going out and up. Found in a wettish forest area near a lagoon.
