Ned says it looks like a
Cooper Hawk nest, but it isn't
active. Near camp, I saw a
Grey-Headed Junco. Ned found a BLM marker
giving an elevation 300' less than his
altimeter shows.
May 21
1/2 mi. W Sawmill PK, 6300 FT, Clove Mtns, Lincoln Co, Nev.
We awoke at 6:30 AM after a cold, clear
night. Temp. 31°F. About 7:30 I walked
up the road towards East Pass; see map
Our camp (on the north side)
is in a stand of ponderosa
pine which covers the valley
floor. This is an isolated
grape, about 150 yds wide
and 500 yds long. Manzanita
and Shrub Oak clothe the belt
sides. I got to a low peak just south west
of Sawmill PK. Not a lot of species seen.
I saw a Red-Shafted Flicker, perched on a
dead pine about 40' high on the top of this
knoll. On my return trip I started hearing
solitary Vireos about 100 yds S. of
the Pine grove, and heard them alternately.
