Observation notes: Marys Peak, upper Parker Creek Falls. Butterfly nectaring until a few clouds passed over blocking the sunlight. When that happened the butterfly landed and opened its wings wide until the cloud passed. The butterfly resumed nectaring. Clasping-leaf Arnica growing and flowering in and along the edges of the falls very popular with nectaring butterflies/
