Refer - near Thorner near Goshen Bridge -
all feeding together. Two immatures were
feeding at the muder edge of a large lake
So. 1 goshen (in canyon with 15 km R.P.).
Three mares were feeding in an identical habitat
on the west edge (N. Meadowlake) + 4 were
along fresh lake. NB adults were in
attendance.
It seems - in general - that most members
have moved toward the coast & are now
along the lagoons & gravel pond areas. A
few are still inland in private polygons &
around the large lakes.
