Comments	This report is for the Mill Hill Loop. The primary flowers currently blooming are: Western Buttercup (Ranunculus occidentalis), Oregon Fawn Lily (Erythronium oregonum), Candyflower (Claytonia sibirica), Oaks toothwort (Cardamine nuttallii var. nuttallii), Wood Violet (Viola glabella), Evergreen Violet (Viola sempervirens), and Fairyslipper (Calypso bulbosa)>. Also blooming are: Western Trillium (Trillium ovatum), Giant White Wakerobin (Trillium albidum), Oregon Iris (Iris tenax), Smith's Fairybell (Disporum smithii), False Solomon's Seal (Maianthemum racemosum), and Western Serviceberry (Amelanchier alnifolia var. semiintegrifolia). I also saw a couple Common Camas (Cammasia quamash) plants blooming along the trail, and few patches of Henderson's Shooting Star (Dodecatheon hendersonii) near the start of the loop as well as near the Refuge Office. There are numerous muddy patches along the trail, so bring appropriate footwear. Also, there are copious amounts of poison oak (Toxicodendron diversilobum) next to the trail, so STAY ON THE TRAIL!
