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: http://www.technobohemia.net/?q=gallery&g2_itemId=4819 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.
