| Note: | Both at nest, then they left to retrieve nest material. With permission from DNREC and State Parks, our team assessed the nest and saw no eggs, so we proceeded to use a come-along and straightened the platform. We reinforced the corner boards, T perch and predator guard and added a ground board collar to hopefully stabilize the pole for future storms. We also dropped a 2x4 marsh perch nearby for the male. The birds returned before we left the island. There was some nest cup material so I will expect to see incubation soon | ||||||
