Thurs, Apr. 27

Partially cloudy and 26F @ 7am.

New crow nest being build at St. Johns in town. Female up in the tree calling.
Crow defending N end of USFS building. I saw and heard a raven in one of those crow nests, but flew out and got chased by the crow.
NEW RAVEN NEST - Huckleberry Dr. Likely the Sage pair. It's right where I saw a bird fly after picking a branch from the sage nest weeks ago. Bird was preening and sitting in the nest.
Hiked out to Curlew nest. Both birds came in and scolded. New sticks on ground and in nest. I picked up a few pellets from under the nest, but they got destroyed by coffee in the car. The curlew 1 nest blown out.
I walked the Kelly Dump area. Nothing on dump nest, and no new nests found. Saw the first sapsucker of the year.
Checked the bison nest. RTs around and new sticks on nest. Also new evergreen sprigs.
