Per the internet: Daucus carota, or wild carrot. Apparently the immature plants are edible, which I did not know.
Thanks for taking a look.
Thank you for the information.
Here are a few pictures taken at Ankeny & Baskett Slough National Wildlife Reserves near Dallas and Salem, Oregon plus one of the Painted Hills in Central Oregon.
Here are some spring and fall pictures of Queen Ann's lace. Enjoy. Comments are welcome. Thank you for looking.

The ??? is a thistle.
Thank you.
It is "Plume Thistle." I found this out by searching with the picture on the internet.
Have a nice day!

A sky like in #1 needs to be more on display. I would have angled the camera up a bit. Maybe don't "Bullseye" the flowers. Moving them some away from center might make a more pleasing shot. The last goose is out of sync, but you couldn't help that.
Thank you for the helpful comments.

These national Wildlife Refuges are both within 20 miles of Salem, Oregon. Both are places for wintering waterfowl. They also are home to many kinds of song birds as well as several species of wild flowers.
Here are a few pictures taken during recent walks at Ankeny National Wildlife and Baskett Slough National Wildlife refuges. Comments and critiques are welcomed. Thank you.

Nice set of images. I think your unknown bird is an osprey, but I could be wrong.
That is what I thought but was not quite sure. Thanks.
These were taken with a Canon EOS Rebel 3Ti camera with a 55-250mm Canon lens using different settings on May 23, 2020.
Here are a few pictures including a Blue Heron, Mallard Ducks, unidentified bird, ants, mushrooms, and dandelion. Comments are welcome. Thank you.
