Today (13 August) at Stewart Park (I forget what time that brief taxi break was) I saw 2 OSPREYS flying over the water. I think at least one was an adult, but I don't know about the other. This evening around 8:30pm a single adult OSPREY sat for a few minutes on one of the perches of the nest platform at Treman Marine Park before flying toward Stewart Park, leaving the platform empty as it had been when I arrived. The vegetation mat was crawling with seemingly the same shorebirds as yesterday, possibly with increased numbers, but I was too late this evening to see them well, even with the scope. I counted 50 CASPIAN TERNS on the red lighthouse breakwater.

That is, zero OSPREYS around Treman Marine Park at dusk, but there were:2 HOODED MERGANSERS1 GREEN HERON2 KILLDEER,6 SPOTTED SANDPIPERS,7 LEAST SANDPIPERS,1 SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPER,27 CASPIAN TERNS,The many swallows over the Inlet and the lake earlier in the day seemed to be majority BANK SWALLOWS and the rest BARN SWALLOWS. I saw 2 YELLOW WARBLERS together in a Willow along Jetty Woods. I thought there were other passerines with them but never got a good look.--Dave NutterAt mid-day when I canoed to the lake I saw Ospreys flying around, and I saw Gary Kohlenberg along the shore, who later confirmed that there were 3 Ospreys on the platform. This evening at dusk on my walk I saw at the platform nor obvious around the park.--Dave Nutter--Cayugabirds-L List Info:Archives:Please submit your observations to eBird!--
