Ah, thanks, RCF. Interesting to see a different perspective of the nestbox. In your previous photo, I wasn't sure what that long white/beige thing is running along the wall under the nestbox. :-\

Hmm, I looked at that long white line and thought, how did I miss seeing that before?
I was quite relieved to see the next photo from RCF showing the metal brackets holding up the nestbox, as usual.

Isn't it amazing what illusions a camera can create. ;)

Illusions, different perspectives, just so happy to have RCF sharing her great photos!

That is the top of the wall that surrounds the lower roof (where the chicks have been put the last 2 years). You have to go east from 9th street to at least 8th street to even see the nest box. Isn't it amazing what illusions a camera can create. ;) 

I like that shot with the wall in the foreground, you get a sense of depth, that the lower roof is actually there and large and that the nestbox is on the other side of it.  Different perspectives are a good thing   :)

That nest box is amazing architecture! What is it resting on? I mean, what is holding it in place on the wall?  ???

The box is attached to the wall with metal brackets. You can see them much better in this photo.  ;)

Today, when Rose and I first got downtown, Brooklyn was on the Scotia sign with prey.  He flew off with the prey and there was a mid-air tranfer with Hurricane.  8)  He went to the east light and she took her gift to the Scotia sign to eat.  When we left, Brooklyn was perched on the nest box ledge and Hurricane was on the east light.
