Screams. 8:46-a typical nuchalis alights in tree, above nest screams, off to S., screams again, distant. 8:47- n> d to nest from W, 1 feed, off to W. 8:50-same, 2 feeds. I leave. N> d is still very busy, but does not go in the nest as it did in the dawn hours. The nest must be getting pretty dirty as I have not seen n> d clean it, and d. has not been to it. The visit from a typical nuchalis, a 8, I think, was unusual. This nest, #1, is quite a long way from #7-at least y2 mi. Perhaps #7's n. goes this far afield, but I doubt it. The young cried constantly. 10:37- at #7- n. feeds 5 times, off to NE. 10:45-n. from W, several looks+feeds, about 5 short screams, in, out, to E. 10:48- d>n from S, looks in, in; 10:49-d>n cleans nest; n. to nest, feeds, d. up from S., n. leaves with squks, d. in. 10:51-n. from thicket to branch by nest squks, d. out, n. to nest, 2 looks, in. 10:57-d>n from SW; squks, n.out, d>n in; then out, to NW (first time). 11:03-d>n from NE, looks in,in, head out, looks around; n.from NE to branch, squks, d>n out, n. several looks in, in, out. 11:08- d>n from S., looks in,in, n.up to nest squks, d>n out, n.in, out to SW. 11:09-d. to nest,in,cleans nest, back in. 11:13-d. cleans nest. 11:16-d>n to nest, in, cleans nest
