Earlier, we we joined by Jane and Dennis Coskren and later we were joined by Joe Byrne and George Jett. The bird was never relocated. Ashley, the banding intern who lives on the site, right where the bird was seen, will keep his eyes open for it tomorrow and pass the word if he see it. ... must remember to check my e-mail earlier in the day ... OK ... make that ... must remember to wake up earlier ...
