from under right wing & put it down
in front. Now it became quiet. At
11:50 llamas again near nest. As one
walked 10 ft. from nest, bird pulled
head down close to body, then turned
head to watch as llama went by. At
12:00 a llama walked 6 ft. away, the
two walked 7 ft. away, one on either
side of nest. Bird sat quiet. Llamas
grazed near for 15 minutes but no
others quite so close. From 12:15 to
12:45 it snowed steadily. Bird
began to look a little white, occasionally
shook head.

to body again. Shade on nest by 4:00.
