1030.③♀ub

*Group Update*
639. Still here. Actually, this bird is listed as having
disappeared in 1984. So for now, I'll add a "returned"
record ~16 Oct 1986. Wow.
Also add 1♀ub♂ nestling from a missed nest here. Obviously
we don't know how many fledged, but he appears to be the
only one surviving this long.
