After Tyler and Jane left, we re-located the Barrow's G-eye and were 
fortunate enough to put some later arrivals right on it. It tended to 
hang around the off-shore sign, with the companions prevously mentioned.
Many thanks to Tyler Bell and Jane Kostenko for finding this rarity and 
spreading the news so quickly.

At that distance, the shoulder stripe and dark wing barring were almost 
better marks than the crescent cheek-patch.

Just then Sherman Suter arrived. We split with Jane going upriver and Sherman and I going to the pier. Not long after we had set up on the pier, my phone rang. Jane had the BaGo in the scope. Apparently Mr. BaGo and Mr. CoGo were vying for the attention of Ms. CoGo who seemed receptive as she had her head forward and parallel to the water. The two males circled the female and would throw their heads back and beep. Clearly a turn-on for the female.
