Default 4-23-12 Update

PSNH was back on the job today and cleared the nest one more time. They then modified the wiring to make it a "1 line" (I have no idea what that means.) These guys that worked on this are genuinely interested in the safety of the osprey, and really nice guys also.

The goal of the rewiring was to make it next to impossible for the birds to try and rebuild. They also modified several of the adjacent poles. I was very impressed with these folks.

The Osprey on the other hand, not so much! They made a number of "inspection" flights over the poles as the guys were working. First couple of passes they had more sticks with them ready to start again on the rebuild.
