In Response To: Floating Islands For Nesting (Jeanne Moore)

Hello,
1- In case this info is helpful, I pasted below the specs of these "islandscapes" from the WalMart web site including size (the link appears below Walmart's picture of an islandscape - if this link is changed in the future, just search using the key word "islandscape" - singular - on the Walmart web site).

2- Jennifer posted on this site last June 23, providing the link to Walmart's islandscapes. She wrote that she uses the islandscapes and she added her email address to her post (click on "Show E-Mail" to get her email address) - See http://www.stanley-park-swans.com/cgi-bin/ask/index.pl?read=2396 (copy and paste this link into your browser if it is not clickable)
