[cayugabirds-l] Ospreys seen on Cayuga

[Candace E. Cornell]

The first two Ospreys seen on Cayuga Lake were reported today in the
afternoon, one around the Cass Park Rink  and one just north of Salt Point
in Lansing. (Dave, do you have earlier dates?) I drove up to the end of the
Cayuga Lake to look around as the Ospreys nesting on Osprey Alley ( Rts.
5/10 as it passes through Montezuma NWR property) usually return first, but
none were on their nests and none were in the Osprey nest along Rt. 90
heading south.

Keep your eyes to the sky and please report Osprey sitings in their nests.
Many thanks!

Candace

[cayugabirds-l] Apache- Ferruginous hawk missing

[Suzanne A. Horning]

Hello-
The Cornell Raptor Program had one of their program birds fly off today. Apache 
a non-native ferruginous hawk broke his jesses while outside and flew off.  A 
small team was out looking for him for the past few hours and thought we 
spotted him a few times in the area of the pheasant farm and compost pile off 
of Dodge/Stevenson Rds.  Unfortunately, nothing other than potential sitings 
and a lot of looking.

We are reaching out to you as people with their eyes to the skies!

Apache information:

  *   Ferruginous hawk (not indigenous to this region- CA)
  *   photo attached
  *   generally the size and shape of a red-tailed hawk but lighter belly, rust 
colored back.
  *   Soaring hawk (same basic habitat of red-tail- look near fields, soaring)
  *   Watch for crows or other small birds mobbing a larger bird
  *   He has 1 jess on, anklets are on his legs

What you can do:
 If you think you have seen Apache, you can call Dr. Heather Huson (Director of 
the Program)  (907) 388-4485 or Dr. Rolfe Radcliffe (607-342-5086).

  *   If you do spot Apache- do NOT try to catch him.  Please call Dr. Huson or 
Rolfe.  They'll coordinate catching him.  We don't want him scared away.
Thank you so much for your help!

Re: [cayugabirds-l] cat collar resistance

[khmo]

A considerable amount of work was accomplished by the American Bird
Conservancy in determining that no type of cat collar was effective in
protecting birds from marauding cats. See the ABC Cats Indoors program.
Some have attempted to use the collar as a means of justifying TNR
programs which have been proven ineffective on many fronts but
especially on protecting wildlife.

You don’t need to wait for the Wildlife Drive to open! There are thousands of 
waterbirds (ducks, swans, cranes) in readily accessible areas of the entire 
Montezuma Complex.

Check Knox/Marsellus Marsh (MNWR) and Carncross, Morgan, and Vay Dyne Spoor 
Roads in Savannah.
