This morning I saw a pair of OSPREYS atop the nest on the power pole inside the mining compound visible from Portland Point Road, Lansing. The birds were copulating, then the male went to the ground and brought back a stick to add to the nest. This nest was fully made when I first saw it this winter, well before Ospreys returned, and I suspect it was built and probably used by Ospreys last year, but the question is: Did anybody notice the nest or birds at it during the 2009 nesting season? If successful it would be the first success in Tompkins County in my limited memory and knowledge. --Dave Nutter
