After climbing down ~~crossed out~~ & going back to the top of the rock to reconiter with Todd, we decided to throw the rope over to the pothole (2), where the 6 had been seen.

I think the male had been actively digging out & forming this depression yesterday when I was watching him in the pothole. I finished rappelling down, collected flicker & barn-woodpecker primaries below snag (1). We were out of there by 09:00. When we drove past the rock at 10:30, on our way out, we saw the ?
