Guti, Bluff 1972 Journal May 20 2 mi. W Sawmill PK, 6600 FT, Clove Mtns, Lincoln Co, Nev. 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.
