KL does general point counts, one between Schwabachers and Lost Creek, and one out in sage by 671 nest site. AC does grouse point counts on 681 and 237. VS does point counts on the West side of the river. KL, BB, and AC do telemetry - 671 is nowhere in Lost Creek area - KL and BB find and flush her out in hayfields (between GV/Kelly Rd and Warm Ditch 2 track) likely with chicks - she scuttled away, but did fly off.
Saturday 30 June
VS, BB, and MC put satellite transmitters on two raven nestlings in Mormon Row barn.
Friday June 29
VS and BB search for RTHA nests - found one on Kelly butte, did not find one at Schwerring (this was the third time searching - we have consistently seen 1 territorial adult there), and found an active nest at the mean old ladies home on the Highlands nest. Movement was seen in the Phantom RTHA nest. KL and AC did telemetry - all sage grouse in usual locations, although 671 and 293 faint and hard to distinguish. KL does point count on 237.
Thursday June 28
VS and KL hike Schwerring territory (over road from Island) searching for redtails - were hollered at but did not find nest.
