Mark Nash Reports:

Hello All
You will have to bear with us, as it has been a very busy week indeed with all of the exciting happenings and nest site upates. With more than 600 photos to go through taken of the Don Mills nest site alone, we are going to need some time to select, resize and match each photo to the many photographers who submitted them, then add captions to each photo that gives some tale of the take as they events have unfolded.
Pleasssssse bear with us, as we are all still in the field rushing to gather additional updates and logistics on 15 other active nest sites and its getting a little hairy!

The first and most important set of photos show the nest building and reflect the before, during and after the fact shots, and the end result of everyone’s determination and hard work, and what its all about. The photos really do say it all!

I’m not sure if the captions will be added to each of the photos, so just in case they are not attached, the shots show the nest building, the bare ledge, both birds discussing the problem, a bare cold concrete ledge with really no substrate to speak of, the problem, and the end result with Quest showing us what she thinks of the additions and improvements that we made to the ledge.

Quest is speaking louder than words could ever describe throughout the serious of photos!
A huge thank to Kathryn and Marion for some of the attached photos. The last and final two shots in this group of photos were taken by myself

MORE TO COME, STAY TUNED……………


Teh nest building Quest and Kendal talking about the situation on the ledge not really looking ideal for a nest hoe the heck can I scrape out a depresson for my eggs in this? Not looking good at all! What can I do to improve this situation? Looking good!!
