Thanks to TJ-the Game and Parks folks up there made contact and I have her #. PABU was around yesterday pretty much all day, but today is rainy and not much activity on feeders.I'm going to call her this afternoon to assess and gauge her interest for potential visitors so please refrain from trying to contact her until I report back. If it sticks around, we dont want to overwhelm or spook her allowing access obviously.if she sees it tomorrow AM I should be able to be there by late afternoon.thanks all-will report backPaul PSent from my Galaxy -------- Original message --------From: "Paul L.

Does anyone know Marie Osborn in Crawford or in the area and could attempt to contact her?
Since we will be there next week for NOU, it would be amazing if the bird stuck around on the feeder and everyone could see it. Selfishly, I am coming back through panhandle on Thurs/Fri and would gladly head up there and ‘verify’ it in person. ;) (male PABU is basically my already reported NE dream bird)
