Title: Majesty and Barry have a new nest

This morning, Chris Becher and Barb Baldinger were joined by three more MDNR friends to install a new nest tray on the Durant Apartments in Flint, MI. Majesty and Barry had been nesting on a long, wide, gravel ledge of the UM Northbank Center, kitty-corner across the street. Earlier this season, a very nice, traditional, three sided, roofed nest box with a web cam was installed on that ledge at the UM Northbank Center. Majesty apparently did not like it. She laid her eggs on the narrow ledge of the Durant Apartments and they rolled off to the sidewalk below. If she does try to nest again this season, she now has a safer option with the new nest tray.
