!!! Nest box removed to facilitate ledge repairs.

As we have been expecting, the nest box has been removed from the nest ledge at the 220 Duncan Mill Road nest site to facilitate the ledge repairs.

By 9am this morning, the nest box had already been removed from the nest ledge in an effort to facilitate the mortar work needed to be done on the nest ledge itself. Over the past two months, the building has been under construction with repairs needed on all elevations of the building.

Quest was observed late morning in several “fly-byes’ obviously reviewing the situation. At no point were the workmen stooped during the mortar application and it appears that all went well.

The next serious of camera screen shots, (thank you again Nona), shows one of the workmen doing the mortar application, and in a final shot, the entire nest ledge having been completely mortar finished. Now of course the drying process.

By days end, it would appear that almost all of the ledges on the south elevation have been mortared and this part of the work is almost completed.
Stay tuned……..
