Place: Hiking at Caspers Wilderness Park .......

We went for  a hike to Caspers Wilderness Park..........
On the way, some California poppy were still blooming...in late June....

It was a hot sunny day........the dry San Juan creek gleamed further......

Chaparral from a view point.......

Opuntia cactus were blooming yellow, pink, and orange.....

In front of the visitor center, there was a bird feeder stand...........dove and scrub jay were the predominant clients.....

A dove on the nearby oak...

The amiable ranger gave us a bag of roasted peanuts to fill the ring feeder.....he could not do, as he was holding a nature center resident, a rosy boa.......my  spouse is helping with the peanut filling......

Some scrub jays deliberately or accidentally dropped peanuts to the ground, which the ground squirrels enjoyed.......

A scrub jay contemplating which nut to grab........


View from the top floor of the nature center...........ringed by hills...


Looks like all jays got their share of peanuts..........
