User's notes
A male then a female gang gang flew in to drink this evening. Shortly after they left a young male flew into the tree and spent some time moving through the tree He had a red mohawk but not much more red on his head. Another young male with more red flew in to drink then after he left the first juvenile male flew down for a drink. We have seen quite a few young males with various amounts of redness on their heads this past month. They don't always stop for a drink but often stop by then head into the reserve. They seem to be used to us and often will stop by when we are in the yard.
