 He also stated that a significant issue arose with the osprey program when a platform was
 damaged by beavers. A new design was implemented, featuring a hand-cranked platform
 that can be raised and lowered for bird banding. The installation involved considerable
 effort from volunteers, particularly Tom and Larry, who contributed design and fabrication
 work. Photos of the project were offered for sharing.
 Recent ice conditions were also noted, stating that two individuals fell through the ice over
 the weekend. Despite successful fishing tournaments, there were areas of open water
 developing on the lake. Fishing activity was noted, with varying success rates across
 different areas.
 A six-wheel ATV was purchased to replace an older model that had been in use for 20
 years. This new equipment is expected to enhance operations for lake projects.
