I have a seen a few posts lately which mention PUMA, and thought I
would report that they are marshalling over southern Vancouver Island,
where they have been doing well thanks to nest box programs (shoebox
type nest boxes). They spend time foraging over freshwater bodies (8
over Swan Lake in Saanich/Victoria) and nestboxes have been put up in
several of these places in hopes they will begin to nest again on fresh
water, instead of just estuaries. A good news story, but it would sure
be nice to see babies coming out of a rotten old wildlife tree instead
of plywood boxes! Maybe that will come.
