Started the day by wading the river again to replace the batteries in the net launcher remote control.
Snowing and cloudy til 11:30 when it cleared up and got sunny.
7:30 - about 10 ravens were circling and calling over north central Kelly this morn, but few birds went over by the bait. By 8:30 there were 6 ravens with a bunch of magpies over there. One of the ravens was starting to sidle up to the carcass.
8:45 - At least 8 ravens are now around the bait. 4 are at the bait. One is eating while the other 3 keep walking in circles around the feeding raven. It reminds me of kids on a merry-go-round. Either that, or they are guarding the feeding one; but that is double. They are likely just mad that one got the good spot and they are looking for a way in. The others in the area still look a little apprehensive about the whole ordeal.
10:30 - All of the birds have left. Should have taken a shot, but it's possible they will come back in greater numbers this afternoon or tomorrow. Patience. Patience. Patience.
11:30 - 2 ravens are back and feeding.
There were no birds on the GTNP bait that we set out yesrday. I checked it at about 12:30.
From noon until 3:45 no birds have been using the river bait, but 3 were eating a bed-time snack at 3:45. None were in the surrounding trees.
I recieved my bound thesis copies finally today!
