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.
