(2) I found the "blown away" hide at School Hill which had blown uphill into the chapparal facing Robertson creek. Otherwise a lot of tension regarding the cabin, now that the Patton's are gone. I did manage to watch at Road 1 and Low Hay. 1 May Not a great day. Force 5 winds on Haystack Hill start the day before it turns foggy & cold, while I find the nest at Low Hay (later opening with Walter produces 3 inc eggs. 1800 also snuck in on us (basies!)).
