Amazing (bird) condos.
How special that people have gone to the trouble to give the
birds a (refuge) of their own to rest and lay eggs.

It is a community effort at that refuge.

Great shots Mike! What a unique nesting opportunity.
Thanks, Jim, this is the third year here. Each year they have added poles.

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.

Very interesting Mike. That's quite the setup. I've seen natural stacked nests in trees, but this man made one is pretty cool.

They were very creative to address the predator problems during the drought.
