Hi Leo,
 I seem to recall a similar stand of bamboo near the house that was hosting a PABU in AA county a couple of winters ago. Yes? No?

there's a 
  small bamboo grove at the end of the block. Seems a likely 
  (possible?) place to check out if he's been out of sight for awhile ???

My memory of the site is that if you face Wakefield Lane 
  (with the Paugh's house behind you) and look right there's a 
  small bamboo grove at the end of the block. Seems a likely 
  (possible?) place to check out if he's been out of sight for awhile ???
