May 25 - Crystal Springs


This was an early evening hike. We planned to dine at a restaurant across the street from the Crystal Springs trailhead, so we went there for a short walk. This is an area that often yields lots of bird sounds and sightings. Today we saw something brand new - a tiger swallowtail butterfly. We also heard and saw several catbirds. I spotted some turtles swimming, and as we were about to cross the foot bridge leading back to the parking lot, Kay spotted a bullfrog sitting on a branch in the canal. Another example of the constant novelty and excitement of each and every hike!
