One of the most beautiful birds in the world! I got up at four in the morning to take a boat ride and then a car ride, and then walk a mile to get to the lekking site at dawn. Almost as soon as I sat down this gorgeous male started cleaning the site of leaves (females only visit clean sites), calling, and displaying. Alas no females came, but it was still an awesome experience!

Description

Today the most abundant butterfly I saw was the Common Buckeye. In thick patches of blooming Rubber Rabbitbrush, Ericameria nauseosa, they were so common that they were chasing each other. Several times when I had a Buckeye in focus it would be chased away by another. I will post all the good Buckeye photos I got today, but they represent only a fraction of the Buckeyes I saw.
