Journal 95 R.E. Johnson 1967 July 24 Seven Devils Mtns, Idaho Co, Idaho (cont.) in hopes of getting a view of the actual nest location when the g returns. Meanwhile there has been considerable activity elsewhere on the cliffs. A pair flew out from high above me after the sound of chirping had ceased in that area. Only 7-8 minutes later a single adult exited the same area after chirping was heard. On this occasion I was able to spot the general nest location fairly accurately. I may have to descend She-Devil from above to get near it. Also a single male chirped loudly from two locations below me in the talus & then flew east around the north face of She-Devil out of sight. Another pair flew west past me & went up (so) the cirque between He Devil & She Devil. It now appears that there are 3 & possibly 4 nests: (1) High above the others as mentioned above. (2) On left hand side of huge snow finger extending up face of She Devil. This one is apparently east facing & beside a smaller snow finger extension of larger one. Male of this one shot (see above) (3) On the right (w) side of the same huge snow finger as 2. Apparently also east facing but this nest borders the main finger. (Male also collected) (4) Possibly nest on next big snow finger west of one mentioned in 2 & 3.
