Media notes

Repeated calls ~12:53pm while remaining hidden in thicket.

Observation details

Continuing, near the location first noted by Marty and Lucas on Nov. 29th, but not nearly as cooperative. First heard the meow call and variations as I walked in from the east, but stayed hidden and silent for almost an entire hour before calling again repeatedly from the thicket northeast of the lake. Never came into the open 😩.
