 From Donna Lorello:
2/25 - WWD continues to be seen.  He seems to be holding an early
morning and late afternoon schedule as logged since being first
noticed.  He continues to be feeding with the Mourning Doves anywhere
appearing as early as 6:50 a.m., and if the flock leaves, he
accompanies them returning later in the afternoon around 3:30 p.m. -
unless by chance he remains in the immediate area roosting as he did
the other day - staying in one place for a few hours and within close
proximity for observations and photographing.  I am happy to say that
everyone who has come out to see him have had the opportunity even if
it means quietly sitting tight for his return.
