Would it be possible at some point to sneak a one foot ruler or something like that into the "edge" of the picture frame, without disturbing the birds?
I've seen the pin feather picture of T2, being held, and that was my first realization of exactly how big these guys (and gals) really are.

There really isn't, I'm afraid, or at least not one we have been able to devise that would be effective or safe. As you will have seen, this ledge is very exposed to the weather and all manner of things come loose/fly around in the wind. Since the ledge is not accessible, we can't do maintenance or repair anything from year to year. When we are banding the chicks, we have to limit our time to only what is necessary, so doing maintenance etc at that time is not an option. I have been trying to figure out if there is a way that I can get a measure on the vent cover (on the right hand edge of the image) and have that in the photo gallery as a reference. I don't know there is another one of these vents anywhere at the hotel, but I'll see if I can find out and get a photo with a measure on it.

Princess just arrived with a snack, but her back is covering the action
