Observation notes: Noticed several (10+) on and near a feeding platform containing overripe peaches. One seemed to have lost its Snout, but was feeding well. (Photo enclosed) Mostly sunny with SW@10+. 87F and 38% humidity at the time of sighting. I noticed by noon they were not any at feeder.

Coordinator notes: James, if you're seeing 10, that could be the start of a major influx. I'll keep my eyes open, even here in the mountains!
