Overcast. 15F at 7am.
It was hard to tell how many ravens were at the bait, but it was a few. Horned Larks were out today on the Kelly Rd.
A pair was on territory at the sage nest, but one of the birds took a stick from it and flew south. I was not able to follow it. The first RTHA nest of the year was confirmed today as a pair was building by Rye. I saw no raven activity W of the airport by any of the territories. I did get a band read on a bird sitting on the airport fence, B/8.
I picked up a deer carcass by Flat Ck, and decided to glassed the cliffs above the museum. I found one stick nest in the big cliffs, but I'm not too sure if it is new or old. The Sign pair was fitting their new nest with lining. One was not banded, but I didn't get to check the other.
A pair was hanging out by the ditch crossing the GV rd, and neither looked banded from far away, but one had a gimpy foot. Gimpette?
I covered the bait so the coyotes wouldn't get into it before the morning, so I could try for some pics and maybe a capture.
