The osprey nest # 59: Treman Marina nest, on the Cayuga Lake Osprey map had some promising activity today! While walking around the Treman Marina and lake shore area at around 11:30 or noon, we saw and heard an osprey calling on the nest. As we came closer to the nest, another osprey flew in, and a bit of mating activity took place. Cool! - yet I always feel a bit like obnoxious paparazzi when I have my binoculars aimed on the couple. After two or three minutes, one of the ospreys flew off, and the female (?) continued to call for a while longer. Perhaps eggs and chicks to come.
