Here are a few shots that you can see the grid in. Nothing great, but it gives an idea. I will send 2 photos in this email and two more in another.

Liz,

Do you have any pictures of your system at FDR? If so could you share them with me? I would like to forward on to this group since I think that it (at least I believe) that it has been working for you.

Thanks

Hello all –

Does anyone have examples of cases where wiring was used to deter gulls/geese from beaches? I have heard some people talk about them being a cheap deterrent, but the only example I could find was from Ottowa and cost sever hundred thousand dollars. Any information about who to contact, design schematics or pictures of the systems would be very helpful.

Thanks,

Eric
