On Sunday morning, I saw an OSPREY twice carrying sticks to a light pole in the middle of the Union baseball fields at Cass Park. These fields are just north of the Children's Garden on the west side of Taughannock Boulevard; the light pole in question is closest to the northwestern field (Field 8). I never had the chance to get a magnified or close view.
On Monday, I took my mom to Sapsucker Woods for a brief walk. We saw four hatchling GREAT BLUE HERONS in the nest on the largest snag in the main pond. They appear nearly ready to fledge. My mom and I also looked briefly for Orchard Orioles by Kip's Barn. We found none, but did enjoy some fine views of an EASTERN BLUEBIRD, which may have been a life bird for my mother.
