This afternoon, 5 July, I had occassion to be by the Monk Parakeet nest on Red Clay Rd. in Laurel. The nest and the transformers on the second pole south of Red Clay Rd. are gone. It appears that the entire top of the pole has been cut off, and replaced with a thinner piece. I have no idea what would have prompted the power company to crop and replace the top of the pole and remove the transformers, as well as the nest. I have no idea if the bird is still present in the vicinity, I couldn't linger.
