I have observed a pigmy nuthatch nest hole in a dead pine branch  about 15 - 20 feet up (vertically), just up the path (don't recall exactly how far) and to the left from the golden eagle nest.  Those interested need to be patient and look for nuthatch activity in order to follow them (visually) to their nest.  I don't know if they are re-using the same hole this year.

Hi again, folks.
I was pleased to spot 2 adult golden eagles on Round
Top this morning (Friday, 3/25), one surveying the
territory from a snag, the other in the nest. The
light was such--and my binocs kept fogging--that I
couldn't quite tell if I was seeing just the parent or
if there was a chick in the nest, too.
I promise you all that I won't flood your mailboxes
with eagle messages this year. But it was nice to our
old friends back at the nest.
It was a relatively quick trip, so I didn't manage
to see too many other species. (It doesn't help that
I've lost the hearing of bird call frequencies in one
of my ears. It's a lot harder to find the source of a
call by using a "radar sweep" with one ear.) I did see
a spotted towhee singing away, a ruby-crowned
kinglet--with the crown showing!--a western bluebird,
and some warblers--I think--flitting through the pines
and heard a number of hummers.
There was also a small empty nest in brush near the
road--don't know who it belonged to.
Happy birding--and Easter.
