Today Kay and I joined Ken and Rachel Brown to visit the Mima Mounds in Thurston County. It had been a while since we got together as couples, and we had a nice sunny day to enjoy a picnic after a walk in the prairie. Butterflies, wildflowers, and a Lazuli bunting were the stars of the walk, and having Ken to ID many of the flowers and butterflies was an added bonus.
No White-tailed kite unfortunately, one had been seen in the area off and on recently, but a nice time had by all.
