Tues, May 30

Kati and I went to the E end of the NER on the 2-track off the highlands loop. We found the new (alt) nest of the nest DC found last year right by the first junction in the road in a fir. We checked the eastern nest and saw the chicks needed another 1.5 weeks before banding.
Checked on the RTHA nest in the large aspen grove between the two raven nests and found it active. I watched a RT fly into the aspen grove at the top of the drainage above the Junction CORA nest, but didn't hike up there.
Kati and I found a new CORA nest up the bowl to the west in a fir tree. We went up to the top of the ridge that connects the west to the east side and flushed a GHOW that was then chased by a RTHA and an AMKE. We had to turn back, so we didn't search for nests.
We found an old nest in an aspen on the west side of the highlands hill. Looked like a SWHA most likely.
I went to the DMV to get records and saw the nest Susan told me about just S of the Snake River Bridge. One adult not banded and 4 foung about to fledge.
Checked on the Bickner Nest. The said one fledgeling died, but I couldn't find the carcass. Got 3 band reads of 2 fledglings and one nestling (N, G, and K).
Deloney still in nest.
One of the Mead birds in the nest still.
