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.
