Good morning. I have an update on the Osprey platform progress so far. Here is the report:
"Great news! Paul Batz, one of the Line Supervisors in Auburn, has agreed to build the Osprey platform this weekend - NYSEG will contribute all materials at no charge. We will also provide the Bucket Truck and labor to install the platform once it is ready. The pole extension has arrived here in Ithaca and will also be donated to the project. Paul built the platforms in Auburn and at Montezuma - he has a running permit with the Cortland region 7 DEC to work with Osprey and is thrilled to be assisting our community with this endeavor. NYSEG will also install aluminum flashing 10' below the structure to deter predators." Thanks to Ron Rohrbaugh and Alan Poole for helping out. Also thanks to those of you who have offered suggestions or contacts to me. Tompkins Weekly will be doing a story about this effort, so look for that as well.
