Sunday April 13th, 2008 Noon Yacolt Washington

Arriving in Yacolt it was warm 75 degree day Arriving in town, I drove to the first pole that was covered by an orange sleeve to find a nest of two Quakers beneath the orange sleeve that appeared to be falling off.

As I drove closer, I noticed a Quaker bird nest developing under the improperly installed orange sleeve .

As I continued into town I noticed that YPPA has not had the chance to reconstruct and erect their third attempt on their pole number four located on the corner of Yacolt Road & Hubbard.

Below, notice a lot of fallen twigs that have fallen from the nest being rebuilt on the power pole where Clark County Public Utilities neglected to install a orange deterrent sleeve after this week's nest tear down.

As I continued into town, I noticed that YPPA has YET to reconstructed the flaws in their Nest Platforms erected in Mid~ March. These are critical nest platforms located on the main corner of Hubbard & Twin Falls Avenue. * The twigs you see may have been gleaned from across the street from YAPPA'S platform.

A beatutifil nest platform erected by YPPA, is located across the street from the power pole where the Quakers have been repeatedly have been constructing their nest.
