I'm envious.=20 I'd say you saw just about everything you might have, other than more tortoiseshells and anglewings. The "_Colias_" is surprising--you don't say how many. Sightings of Oranges are very rare in the spring, though they sometimes may overwinter in some stage in mild winters in the lowlands, but I doubt if that applied to this year. And _C. eriphyle_ yellows are very rare on the West Side, period. Western sulphurs (_C. occidentalis_) do occur at higher elevations in Mason Co., but this seems low and early. Is it possible that what you saw were the very buttery female _P. marginalis_ that often present in the spring? They can be quite deceptively yellow.=20 Thanks,=20 Bob P.
