I have not been to the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge in several months, but yesterday, dry and sunny, was a good day for a tour around Wildlife Drive. There were many wild flowers and the usual birds. The flowers were colorful, very showy.

Refuge birds will be the subject of my next post.
They’re sure colorful and showy, Hien! I’m glad you had a wonderful day at the Wildlife Drive.

Thank you Bonnie! I read somewhere that the deer do not eat Fire Lilies, they like the more domesticated lilies.
