Every few years now we see a slew of these; although I can't remember ever seeing one as a boy.

Early in the day, a bit less than 70 degrees; only heard them when I stepped under the tree's canopy to check out something else.

Resting on a patch of sunny ground; flying up repeatedly to circle with a West Coast Lady, then return to the same spot. He seems rather old, the Lady just emerged. I saw these two repeat that performance 4 times before intervening to take pictures.

In Scott's book, these two Vanessae are said to occasionally hybridize in California. I wonder if I didn't interrupt one of these illicit trysts.
