2025 June 3 morning
Gordon Hart sends a photograph of a West Coast Lady on Mount Tolmie yesterday, June 2. It is of interest to compare this one with Aziza Cooper’s photograph of one on Mount Douglas on June 1 (see Invert Sightings post on June 2 morning). Question: What is the colour of the large pale patch in the apical region of the West Coast Lady? These two photographs show that it can be either white (as in Aziza’s photograph) or orange (as in Gordon’s).
