We are waiting for the 2 birds to fledge from that one so that we can use the dock for the first time this summer. One of the platform pair of adults is banded, there is no way, even with my scope that I can get the number on the band. If anyone is interested in trying to get the band number please contact me either by phone or e-mail. We had a nest on another platform, but for the second year in a row that nesting attempt failed & now the platform has collapsed. We are willing to build a new platform but will need help in getting it installed on the pole. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
