User's notes
I believe this is what's left of the Track family, as the parents brought their juvenile to this area last year. Sadly, it seems the female juvenile from this season's breeding season may have perished - I've noticed for a month or so that the family has only had the male juvenile. When I'd observed her previously, I'd felt the young female was precocious, very curious, and playful, and had wondered whether she would survive. I really hope she did, and that it's not the family I think it is. I just have not noticed a family of four hanging around Track for quite a while - only three, with a young male. Also, the female is drinking from this water hollow.
