7Oct Trying to watch from blind here, 0800. Chars aren't good,
very breezy. Medlocre. 1000, giving up. ♂426,
♂497, ♂691 ♀713, plus J743 Red-Yel/Black (♂)
and J744 Pink/Red (♂), ad J829 or-Dann/yellow
(maybe ♀, but not sure yct). All that I see. A
bit of storing, but not much. Also, I saw a ♂adult
with just an orange band on the right leg. Probably
♂321, lost his DBlue-Yel (N), but since I didn't see
his other leg, I'll have to wait.
14Dec Watching from blind, 0900: ♂829 chases a ♂NIB from
2° grarary at 0910. ♂742 ♂497 ♂426 ⚫ ♂102
(whos seems to be missing a band on his right leg) ♂743
♂321, ♂691, ♂689 ♀713, ♂744 all seen well,
and finally, ♀427 Red/M! Alan + I had both
watched here and gotten good censuses but failed to see
her, but she is alive. Missing was ♂741 but I saw her
on 11 Dec near Bianca, and ♂320, who may well be
Kaput!
