Centi, Blain Journal May 22 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. May 22 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.
