    Details

    Nest complete along powerline road; no nearby adult activity or eggs. Three days after discovering a pair building, John and I stopped to check the nest site for signs of any activity/eggs. After a minute of closely examining the site from a distance, we noted the distinctive leaf ramp leading into a deep depression within the bank. The nest entrance was about 18 inches above the waterline. I crossed the creek to approach the site and very carefully knelt down to reach into the depression below and felt a completed nest with no eggs. As I was doing this I noticed a juvenile Cottonmouth near me slide off the bank into the water, disappearing quickly. We left the site shortly afterwards to minimize disturbance. Will check again on Friday.
