Conte, Blair 1972 Journal May 20 2 mi W. Sawmill Pk, 6600 Ft., Clover Mts, Lincoln Co, N.V. Temperature today at 5:45 PM was 41°. The sky was overcast, but there was no wind. It had rained and hailed last night. At about 7:30 AM it began to snow, lightly at first, then more heavily. Ned says it won't last long. 2:00 PM. The sky turned to broken clouds at 12:30 PM, after about 1½" of snow and hail fell. During the storm many birds, most notably the Red Crossbill, took shelter in the large yellow pine at camp. They were remarkably tolerant of human approach at this time. Ned said he saw an Audubon's Warbler feeding on the ground. At 12:30 I took a walk to the cow pond. The ground was quite muddy, but had dried almost completely by my return at 2:00 PM. There was little bird activity. I saw a 7 and 4 Mountain Bluebird in a sagebrush flat above the cow pond. They seemed to mate as a pair. Other species seen: Black-Headed Grosbeak, Rufous-sided Towhee, Chipping Sparrow. 3:15-4:30 PM. Walked to Quaking Aspen spr. Stayed there for most of the hour. Saw only a mourning dove. I saw a stick nest built in the crotch of a large aspen, about 35 ft. above the ground. (see diagram).
