User's notes
I saw a female sitting near the Baldys' Hollow 2 from last season. While I was watching, a male popped his head out of the hollow. They were definitely not the Baldys. The male soon went back into the hollow and occasional construction noises could be heard. I watched for about 30 minutes and he popped out a couple more times, but went back in. She didn't move from her perch the whole time, although she stretched her wings at one point. They didn't seem to talk to each other like the Baldys always seem to do.
