RWebb

In a spindly pine in a suburban back yard.

There is another nest platform directly across the road, and I've never seen a bird on the east platfom.

On top of a dead, tall stump covered with grape vines.

Flat wooden platform

Osprey platform

On the cross piece of a wooden power line pole.

On a platform above a power pole above the transformer labelled 1112 So Tropical Trail (w side of street). About two blocks from the water, but directly adjacent to a highly travelled road.

Light pole over little league baseball diamond.

Across the street (next to the "river" - actually part of the Indian River Lagoon) from the entrance to the Sunset Ridge Estates. The nest is so well hidden I would never have spotted it except one adult was perched in the next tree, calling.

Square wooden, between home and pond

The top 20 feet of the pine tree (where the nest is) are dead; the 100 feet below that are thriving pine. Such top-level deadwood is caused by lightning striking the tallest part of the tree.

Square wooden, near Cocoa Waste Water pump station

Behind the airport, above a power line pole, less than a half block from dozens of pine trees.

Flat wooden.

Large pine tree

Flat wooden platform.

Circular platform

Platform above the lights in a Little League field. This nest has been in use off and on since at least 1992, when my niece attended the school and they set up a webcam to watch the nest(before webcams were widely available).

On river itself, 1 block north of building where Space Coast Audubon Society meets.

About 100 feet from a picnic pavilion, and about 50 feet from the waterfront of the Indian River Lagoon (mistakenly labelled the Indian River at that point).

Square wooden platform

First surveyed nests on 3/17.

Pine tree east of the intersection of Courtney and So. Tropical Trail.
