Notes:   Many Coppers seen this particular day on top of the mountain. These ones, which looked a little different from some of the others, were the only ones seen to visit some yellow flowers (Asteraceae) growing in patches between bare rock patches. These Coppers all look very similar to me so am sending any that look different from each other.
