From that point the nest is perhaps 500 yards away and 300 feet higher, the bottom of the canyon 300 feet lower. (All guesses). The street below 40 feet lower. He took off at a down- ward angle of about 45 degrees, landing on the far side of the street.

I have not visited the nest since the eggs were first found.
