11 May Nest check at OR/GR FW/BK ♀ may not saw one adult. No sign
of fledglips no distress calls by parents; it costs bad! % of
this pan is PB/FW BC/BK ♂. I couldn't tell which adult I saw but
it certainly was FW/BK.
13 May Found nest of OR/FW OP/BC in milk thistle patch
4 warm eggs. I believe PB/FW ♀ + FB/OB are
feeding a fledgling.
