Lots of singing 28 June A pair along the bluff on the creek flat in the Sali's pletcher. The 3, the 1st pink bird I have seen, singing. Present all day. A little activity in the coal mine area in the evening. 29 June Noted in willows along the bluff on the large lobe hill of R. Agassiz, where a 3 were feeding together and another 3 singing. The 3 I saw were pink on the breast, and looked like it was bleeding, the pink fading out on the flanks. Heavily streaked on the feathers and rump. 30 June Heard 1 or 2 flying overhead. 1 July At least 6 birds together in the willows on the village flats, feeding on the ground circles. 2 were pink, the rest not.
