Working on the nest

Donna Browne sent me three photos of work being done at Pale Male & Lola's nest. Now you don't have to take my word for it.


Last year's eggs, now at Ward Stone's pathology lab in Albany



Working on the spikes

I'm a little worried about the guy at the left in photo #3. Where's his helmet?? I don't imagine the hawks were happy to see human activity at their nest, little knowing it was going to help them out. And as we know, their talons are deadly weapons. I'm not sure when these pix were taken. But I'm not asking any questions. Just posting everything immediately.

PS Keep your eye on Donna Browne's site http://palemaleirregulars.blogspot.com/
I understand that she will be posting more pictures and info from an insider point of view.
