Media notes

Note the two smaller trees at the center of the frame. When standing at the stake, sight between these two trees. The nest is ≈30 ft off the ground and ≈60ft from the fence

Observation details

Female bird seen perched on top of nest for about 15 seconds brown bird with dark cap heavy bill light under sides. The nest is very difficult to find if you don’t know where to look especially for those of us who are hard of hearing or maybe the birds have stopped vocalizing. Here’s a good description of where to look that my friend found in another checklist: The trail is across the highway from the parking area; head north to the last large sycamore. The trail has a loop around a fallen treetop; just before the loop is a single large rock on the trail right next to the fence; this is the best vantage point I found. (There is actually a wire fence stake a few feet north of the rock on the public side of the fence that has a better view.)
