Both were in small young Redwood trees eight or ten set up and were large structures composed of sticks and roots stuck together with a great quantity of mud and wet material. The eggs are similar to some types of the California Jay. The nests of Steller's Jays seems to be always found in close proximity to mud. May 17- Some eagles that had been see previously were seen again flying about a nest in a Redwood tree and alighting on it. Both birds were seen carrying large sticks.
