Cogswell 1950 Chordeiles minor 4 July 7 (cont.) At least 3 other ? nighthawks were seen & heard in the same area whence this ? came. The call note given by all these ? by the ? when diving on the ? was the usual, strident "k-peent"; but the ? was also heard to utter a recognizable grunt note, altho it was much softer & seemingly lower pitched. July 10 (dusk) ? still incubating 2 eggs on this NEST. She flew away after a diversionary display. July 11 (early p.m.) E. side Boca Res., 5600 ft., Nevada Co., Calif.-another NEST discovered (by almost stepping on it) with ? incubating 2 eggs. It is placed on tan-colored gravel in midst of scattered, gray deal branches of bushes. The area is a broad flat covered only with sparse sagebrush & antelope brush with sparser grass. Open Jeffrey pine forest is on slopes 1500 ft away. (cf. activity in this area on eve of June 22). July 13 7250 ft., ¼ mi. N Donner Pass, Nevada Co., Calif.- ? still incubating on NEST (6th day since 1st egg laid). July 19 Sugar Bowl Lodge, 7000 ft., 1,2 mi. SSW Donner Pass, Placer Co., Calif.- 9+ counted over meadow & cleared ski slopes on N & NE sides of Disney Mtn. These are the first noted here in evenings, altho the nesting areas are only a mile away. They seem to forage over those cooler, N-facing forested slopes only on certain evenings, & apparently never early in the season.
