Faleo vesticulus 8 July Colville River Deriv #2 - on first night hard bluff below mouth of Hillik R. - 7 exactly like one seen yesterday but perhaps larger was seen over the cliff at 1055. Bluff is off the main course of the river with a "slough" running back from the river beneath the bluff. Deriv situated on up river end of the series of shale outcrops ca 4-1/2 mi. from point of Rough legs on the lower end. Nest on a veered ledge with a large eroded opening leading into the bluff. Very wet and muddy inside. Two female birds ca 6-6 weeks old - very muddy on backs and with blood streaked all over heads. Looking at them through binoculars at a distance they looked well healed. Both didn't give plumage with blondish heads. Both apparently starved-recent remains of prey in nest, although when we first arrived we saw the 7 take a small bird - laughfowl? - to the shelf and give it to the young. She then left the area and did not return. Not seen. The young fed out of my hand while I was in the nest.
