I didn't see anyone here during the 10 minutes I sat around, but I did hear several birds (3?) call over on the knoll area at one point. 24 May 1000. Some activity over this way.

I walked all over here, finding no sign of life except at the end when one bird, a ♂, flushed from up by the old corral and flew over to the field in between the corral and A1. Unfortunately I have no idea whether he was a Bianca bird or what. 25 June 1930. Flushed 2 ♂♂ (008DS/light #123; the 2nd banded also) from the hole in the "new" area. Before I do anything rash here it might be worth checking for a nest. 3 July Add: ♂123, ♂126. Here on 12 May with a ♀ and acting new and interested ⇒ Moved here ~12 May (see also A3 notes) Proven is most likely Founded Unbanded. Also apparently proved here ~12 May.
