• Ranch hands in the Nutt Grasslands reported a group of a dozen or more in about 2002 (per Randy Gray);
• Photo from Lake Valley, by Matilda Holzwarth, in about 2004 (per Randy Gray);
• ca. 2016, one in Lake Valley Ghost Town and one in Berrenda (per Randy Gray);

Please keep your sightings coming in; we are beginning to establish a good record. The ebb and flow of their numbers (or at least the sightings) from year to year is especially interesting.
