--- Quote from: Stormy on May 18, 2015, 10:32 ---Maybe this was covered during the Info Radio interview, or another time, but would it be viable to place a proper nest box on the east ledge? This was done at another site so wondering if it would work at this site.

It wasn't included in the interview but it has been brought up before and the problem is that we don't have access to the ledge and anything we put there has the potential to hurt someone or cause major damage if it were to blow off or become damaged and blow off. Not to mention it would like be a hazard to the birds before that. We check our nestboxes spring and fall each year give that our weather can be so extreme. So while it seems the simplest idea, it has a few problems ... like everything on this darn ledge!!

My reaction yesterday was purely emotional - was mad - needed to count to 10 - or maybe 1000 before posting! :P
That said, I still hate that ledge - but hopefully the idea that Tracy had of just removing the gravel and making a smooth surface will deter nesting, but still be good for hanging out!!
Hope to hear the other Wpg nests ended up better after yesterday's monstrous weather. 8)

You just vented what we all felt. We know you're not a quitter ;)
The idea of removing gravel sounds very interesting.
