We applied for a permit to build this platform in 2018, hoping to attract a mating couple by spring 2019. This nest is on the south side of the Piankatank River where Ferry Creek flows into the river. We "seeded" the platform with sticks last summer to make it more attractive. My critter cam shows a pair arriving around March 10. They are actively adding to the nest, mating, defending their territory and it almost seems like the female is incubating, though it seems early for this.
