Air temperatures reached daily record highs today (23 February 2021). It was in the high 70s and perhaps the low 80s in Cotati this afternoon. With warmth like that, it's not surprising a few butterflies were out basking in the sun. Late in the day we found one little sunny corner in our neighborhood with a handful of butterflies — a mixed "flock" of California Tortoiseshells (Nymphalis californica), shown above, and West Coast Ladies (Vanessa annabella).
