Yesterday and today I spent time watching the Blue Grosbeak pair at RM.
6.21on Patterson Pass Rd.
Both days the a pair are in the open.
The pair is using a single Willow Tree to perch. The Male is stationary
and utter a loud chirp from time to time.
The female makes short trips out from the interior of the willow.
My assumption is she is on a nest.
The male ducks into the willow when she shows herself . 
 Blue Grosbeak have nested here - within 50  feet in the recent pass.
To locate the willow, stand on the dirt mound - in aliment with the
newly discarded wallboard ( sad but true).
Look directly across to a wide willow next  to an exposed eroded soil
piece of the hill side.
I also stopped both days down at RM 7.0.
A female Grosbeak was posted as being seen on Thrusday at RM 7.0.
 I had nothing saturday.
 But today I had a male Blue Grosbeak in the shrubs.
Blue Grosbeak have nested in this location in the MID 1980's.
I have not noticed any BG activity around RM7.0 for some time due to
cattle grazing impact on the shrubs.
