[<merlin42@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

On Saturday, May 19, Rob Biller and Nora  Schubert did documentation work on 
the Pine  Siskin nest that Allan Trently found on May 5, 2007.  The TOS field 
trip to Roan Mountain during the Spring Meeting Weekend also viewed this nest 
on May 6.

After locating the nest in the spruce tree at 102 Rustic Cabin Rd (Jones 
residence), we positioned a mirror that was attached to a pole behind the nest 
and took some photographs.  Ron Carrico provided the segemented pole and 
attached a mirror. 

These photographs can be found at the following location:

The GPS data is N 36-07.625 and W 82.04.918. at an appoximate elevation of 4482 
feet.  The GPS latitude and longitude is degrees and decimal minutes.  

We documented this nest on May 29, 2007 from 8am to 10:30am.  The nest can be 
found near Mile Marker 3 (3 miles in Tennessee) on HWY 143 on Rustic Cabin 
Private Road.  A lot of the community there (called Hummingbird Hill) came out 
to inquire as to what we were doing and many helped supply us some equipment 
(ladder, extra rake).  If they hadn't been so supportive of our task, we would 
not have been able to be so successful.
