① Found troche about 8:50. Bird at spent night roost in rocks (bare patch in snow plus 3 feathers). Stood walked (roaring of feeding) about 300 yds when Mary flushed it. Flew about 300yds, landed as indicated around end of West Cap Rock.
② About 9:15 found troche of ② and trail 10yds back to nest with 6 unincured eggs. Bird 2 had fed within 150 yds of nest, then ran one north ridge (±350yds from nest) in company with ③+④
③+④ Found troche came down hill from about 400 yds away toward nest. Roosted within 100 yds. of nest, then ran NE,
gain troche of ②, disappear over ridge.
Returned to observation rock at 10:30 via saddle between Nard
W Cap Rock. Didn't see bird on nest (no binoculars), so built blind.
at 10:40, saw a bird standing by nest, then plink off North. Thinking
I had frightened it and that blind nearer close, moved at 11:00
to more distant perch. When Koford came ± 11:20, we looked at nest
and there were 5 eggs, unincured.
