There are pockets and the area he is talking about has the habitat to support sightings like that. We have some areas around us that have great habitat and are being managed to try to get birds established with HEAVY predator control going on. Early last winter(Jan 2014) would see 25-35 birds out feeding. Unfortunately the tough winter last year seemed to do them in according to the guys that trap and hunt Coyotes down there. Was pretty hopeful they were gonna take hold there in a big way but not sure. Guess time will tell.
