Nectaring at the coast

 

 

Air temperatures reached ~65°F (~18°C) on Bodega Head today.  There was lots of insect activity, including quite a few Painted Lady butterflies (Vanessa cardui) — some nectaring on Coyote Brush (Baccharis pilularis) as in the photo above, others on Seaside Daisy (Erigeron glaucus).
