I Karen, I haven't seen one nesting on a boulder, but they do regularly use rock faces, such as small cliffs and rock outcrops that are in shaded settings.
I do not think it is late, as I think some of the pairs have just finally settled in here and there. Atlas II has some nesting phenology info, and it shows both nest building and nests with eggs as regular in late June.
