1 mi W Sawmill PK, 6300', Clover Mts, Lincoln Co, Nev.
We stopped along the road and walked towards
the creek. This was W of the edge of the thick
2nd growth forest, but ponderosa pines were
scattered about. Ned pointed at Bachawk
nest, with the 9 on the nest.
Not tried to get her off the nest
by throwing stones at her for
about 5 min, finally succeeding.
She cockled about 20 times total, some of
which were recorded. I took 6 photographs
of her in flight and on the nest. We left
the area at about 7:30, after she had
returned to the nest.

3 mi W Sawmill PK, Clover Mts, Lincoln Co, Nev.
We arrived at the cow pond (50' diameter artificial
lake) at 7:45 AM. Still clear. Ned walked off
to record Solitary Vireos. When he returned,
he pointed out a nest to me. The 9 was
singing from fuel (25') Gambile Oak about
10' off the ground, the 9
was sitting in the nest,
about 5' high in a limb of a ponderosa
pine. I approached to within 4' of her,
took 3 pictures of her on the nest, and
she remained on the nest. Temperature
about 50 F dry this time.
