   Marie O’Shaughnessy and Jeremy Tatum saw one California Tortoiseshell and two Red Admirals at the top of Mount Tolmie at 5:00 pm today.  The tortoiseshell was on the reservoir; the admirals were on the Laburnum just outside the entrance to the reservoir.  Below is Marie’s photograph of the tortoiseshell.
