what's up here, quickly. Are there 2 44??

1915. Watched roosting. I saw both
♂(NYDK#3017 and ♀♂(M #2095; #2095 roosted
in the nest (he actually looked like - 1m, but it
must have been him).
18 April
1910. Tonight, ♂3017 came first but was then
joined by ♀2095; both then stayed for the
night, best I could tell (unless one left
very late after I left.)
