You may be refering to the Breeding Bird Atlas record, which was
considered a "confirmed" breeding record, but was not of a nest, per se.
It was based on the observation of a bird carrying an insect and flying to
a cliff, seen in 1988 near Copper Mountain by David Lee. I don't believe
the actual nest was seen. The Atlas reference is:
