User's notes
Holly's 2nd sighting. The property owners invited LSH to visit their place to see and photograph some glossies. They had been seeing 2 families of glossies with 2 juveniles. Their property was to be backburned later in the week in response to the nearby Green Wattle Creek fire.
This evening, 3 glossies (Holly, a juvenile & a male) were seen individually so they might not have been a family unit. Location is approximate to accommodate all 3 glossies. Smoke from fires reduced visibility. Holly is in images 1-3, the juvenile/subadult is in image 4, & the male appears in image 5.
Fortunately, the property was neither backburned nor burned by the Green Wattle Creek fire.
