Hi all,
In about 2 min I saw 48 robins fly from Mundy Wildflower garden direction over
my building. Actually 48 one returned back to Mundy. I think they were heading
towards buckthorn trees at the junction of Judd Falls and Campus Road vicinity.

I don't know why they have chosen our sanctuary. Perhaps because we are

by thousands of acres of agribusiness monoculture. For the last several days our
spruce and pine plantations have been host to a remarkable dawn and dusk flight
of
robins and red-wings. They come in to roost at
I noticed that an Osprey platform has been installed on the hill above Myers Point. There are already two nests in the area, the first on a pole within the Cargill mining complex at Portland Point, which Robin Bailey's husband Paul (whose last name I forget, sorry), who works with NYSEG, provided
I just finished a run in the arboretum. They are feeding on the remnants of
small ornamental crabapples In the company of some cedar waxwings.

Saturating an area with platforms attractive to Ospreys might be a useful
strategy for reducing unwanted nest-building on utility installations.

I'm wondering what people's thought are about how many Osprey platforms
My question is not just about Osprey interactions, and potential Bald Eagle takeover, but also about food supply and about human interactions. I was surprised Ospreys used the platform at Treman with so many people and dogs around it, but the platform is at the center of the field, and the people

Hi All. My first thought is of the 6 or 7 nests on adjacent power poles
along Rte 5/20 near the Montezuma NWR. Also, I have seen at least two
active osprey nests on the same power tower in N Carolina. At Caumsett
State Park on L.I., an osprey platform was occupied one year by a Canada
goose
Hi All,
To add my two bits to the conversation, I have seen a third Osprey circling
over both the Portland Point nest and the Salt Point nest, while both
parents and young were occupying the nests. My thoughts at the time were that
it was possibly a floater adult (or two separate floaters) who
Dave,
Good question. To help ospreys repopulate the NE, we need to supply them
with ample nesting platforms. How many platforms should be built? In my
opinion, the short answer is as many as the ospreys need. Cayuga Lake is
large enough to support a number of osprey populations concentrated at

Hi All.
Just another thought, if I may. There was a time in my lifetime (OK, so it
was a long time ago) that there was a large osprey colony on Gardiner's
Island on Long Island. They nested ON THE GROUND. No need for platforms.
Then came the first invasion of Herring Gulls. The unfortunate

I went up to Northern Montezuma area to see if the sandhill pair has returned.
No sign of them, but I did find a single SANDHILL CRANE hunkered down in the
tall grasses off the end of Morgan Rd. It appears to be an immature, as the
light-colored area under the eye is dirtyish and not bright

Late this afternoon (27 March) I walked to from my home to Cayuga Lake, where I was surprised to find a single male EURASIAN WIGEON again, 12 days after I first found one there. After a gap of 5 days in reports from the south end of the lake, combined with reports of 1 or 2 by the Village of
