5. June 11, 1953 Thursday. Weather warm, cloudless, still a west wind. Very gusty but not quite as strong as yesterday's wind. Today I hunted along the creek west of camp down to one mile from camps. I examined the small trees in the meadow and they seem to be birches, not cottonwoods. In the thick willow growth near the creek I scared an accipiter from a nest. The nest was bulley about 18 inches in diameter, about 12 feet off the ground and was composed of coarse twigs. The hawk looked like a Sharp-shin but was large enough to be a Cooper. I'll check it later. Strange there are no Sparrow Hawks around here. Saw many of the same species today which I also saw yesterday. The Broad-tailed Hummingbird was again common in the willow thickets in the canyon, and a few were seen among the pinyon on the hillsides. The whirring of their wings betrays the presence of these hummingbirds long before they are seen. This late afternoon about six PM I shot a male Eastern Kingbird from its perch on the top of a Chrysothamnus brush near the meadow. This is one of the few records of the species from Nevada and the second record of the bird in Nevada
