Note: This nest failed for two of the last 3 years. Nest was well engineered by Dahlgren using a mesh base. Mesh was completely blocked to provide no drainage and could possibly flood in heavy rain. For 2023 season Todd added extra sticks and nest fledged 2 chicks as this may have been enough to keep eggs out of water. For 2024 Todd (Dominion) cleaned out the nest and put some sticks back. Fingers crossed.
