Once the nest platform was safely in the treetop, Pat (right) followed Mont (upper right) up to the top of the tree. Again, Elizabeth monitored the video feed and directed the positioning and orientation of the nest platform so that it could be seen on the computer. Then she (above) joined them to help anchor the nest platform securely in place using wire inside sections of garden hose (to protect the tree branches from being girdled by the wire). With Pat along to help, the job was done in no time, and we could take our time to enjoy the view.
