The main reason that I went to Farmington Bay last week was to check on the heron nesting at the Eccles Wildlife Education Center. Our local power company, Rocky Mountain Power, has installed nine long poles with platforms to allow the GBH a place to nest safe from land based predators. As you can see in #1, the pricy high-level spots have already been taken.
Mating and hatching are well under way as seen in #3.
Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Now that is a great photograph in all respects and the red barn sets it off perfectly. Well done.

Seeing something like this is a first for me. Probably be able to get some good in-flights while they come & go. 
Thanks, Tom. I will be posting some BIFs later, but the pelicans are the stars.

How interesting, and what a great project that RM... (show quote)
Thanks, Ann, this is a local/state refuge and the locals businesses pitch in because the feds support their refuges out of taxpayer money.

What a great idea... glad the birds took advantage of it.
I have no idea how they get the birds to use it, but it has worked out well.
