Description
This new nest is approximately 100 yards south of Nest 1067 which was active this season, then abandoned. The new site was being used by the 1067 pair as a perch/feeding tree before 1067 was abandoned, so I suspect that for some unknown reason they left the one nest and started this new one.

05/13/15 Cold, very windy. One bird perched beside nest, preening. I suspect one in the nest was deep in the well due to the wind. Smarter than I.

07/10/2013 by olympus

08/09/2012 by olympus
08/03/12 One adult peerched above nest, one low in nest. 08/08/12 This pair apparently has moved from this new location back to the old nest #1067. From our studies in Idasho in the late 1970s, I suggest they are playing house and are not the same pair that produced 4 fledglings last year at #1067.

07/30/2012 by olympus
07/28/12 One adult was perched above the nest in the same tree, and it appeared that another was very low in the nest. I suspect this one was incubating.

07/22/2012 by olympus
07/18/12 Two adults were bringing nesting materials to the site. One with sticks, the other with mosses. Then, both stayed away for a long time. I returned later after observing #1068, but still none were in the area.

07/16/2012 by olympus
07/16/12 I have reported Nest 1067 as being abandoned, even though last year a pair produced four young from this site. On 07/11/12 I revisited the site to find the nest still abandoned, but a new nest about 100 yards away in a tree that the birds from 1067 would use as a perch tree. This tree now has a small nest, with two active adults in and around the nest. At one point they copulated on the nest. I have observed a pair copulating on nest 1067 on 04/19/12, and in incubating posture after that until abandoned for unknown reasons. Last year, the young didn't fledge until into September, so I am wondering if this may be the same pair double clutching this year, which they may have done last year also, accouinting for th late fledging date.
