Thank you so much!
That fits for when I saw it, Churn had a couple of eruptions while I was watching Nifty. I can't remember what Oval Pool was doing at the time, though.

Much appreciated. It's a fun little geyser!

It can erupt for over an hour several times a day when it is very active.  I think (like Old Tardy) it usually erupts when the rest of the system is in drain.  The times I remember it erupting I also remember Oval Pool being low.  Also, the when Nifty is erupting the new hole between Nifty and the boardwalk (to the northeast) steams and you can hear if gurgle in the hole.  This hole looks like a buffalo broke through the ground but it may have other origins.  I don't remember how old Nifty is, maybe someone else has that data.

Since I'm not there, I can't be sure -- Pat's photo doesn't quite show me enough -- but is this the "UNNG-OTO" that is in my book (second paragraph under Old Tardy)? It certainly is in the right area, and "OTO" has on occasion been known to sputter above ground level.

However, I don't know anything about Nifty and would appreciate any information that could be provided, please. When was it first spotted? How often does it erupt? Is it related to other features (for example, more likely to erupt during a deep drain, etc.)? I don't think it is in Scott's book, "Slurp" Geyser is, but this isn't Slurp.
