My first encounter with a mud-bathing butterfly featured a single California Tortoiseshell come to taste the nectar of the goo on the juniper sage grasslands of Central Oregon, where moisture is elusive, and one could hardly blame.
Here on the Canyon Trail in Silver Falls State Park, a 9200-acre rain forest in Oregon's interior, a kaleidoscope that appeared to be Margined Whites or Mustard Whites flitting in and out of a dank bath, confirmed for us they collect more than moisture and minerals. Based on the fervor, it has to be magic.
