Arrived at region of nest at 10:57. Bird off
nest as we arrived & became [illegible] our presence, hei-
tated a little about coming onto nest. She
finally came back onto nest, stayed, however,
for but a second & started fluttering about
again. I did not watch her for awhile since I
was busy with some notes. Decided to search
for a possible feeding ground for her.
Hunted around quite a bit and could find
no definite place which [illegible] had
enough flowers to suggest a set feeding ground.
Flycatcher's presence in vicinity suggests preme
insects (2). Saw a Golden Eagle overhead,
but was not immediately near nest &
plus could not see his effect, if
any, on the hemmer. At 11:30, Dr. De Vany
came back down and we ate lunch.
The De Vany came [illegible] Mr. Decont to take picture
of the hemmer & nest. Shortly after two p.m.
