Nest Nook With Landing Perch Without the Visual

Well folks, there should be an image of the new improved Nest Nook with the nifty landing perch on it right here where I'm typing. But for whatever reason Blogger feels that it is in an unrecognizable format. Sigh. I'm working on it.

In the meantime here is what hawk expert and the designer of the nest nook, John Blakeman has to say--

Donna,

Attached is a design for a $10 landing pole attachment that will work for both Nest Nook designs, for the one on the wall, and the one attached to a ledge. It's two automotive hose clamps and 3-ft piece of treated 2x2 wood.

Donna,

The Nest Nook can be made of any durable material. The only stuff that can be easily worked and fabricated is metal, which will not present an egg cooling problem, inasmuch as the Nook has no protruding spikes. The nest sticks and lining will sit in and on top of the metal fabric (screening). There is no need whatsoever for "insulation." The nests up in trees are fully exposed on all sides to winds.

Yes, it will be good to learn of the dimensions of the ledge the sticks are on presently. How wide (right and left) is it? How deep (front to back) is it?

--John Blakeman

Sorry, John. I'm hoping to get the information soon, and when I do I'll whip it your way asap.
