Robyn From: bounce-127256533-15067...@list.cornell.edu <bounce-127256533-15067...@list.cornell.edu> On Behalf Of Dave Nutter Sent: Tuesday, March 28, 2023 7:35 AM To: CAYUGABIRDS-L <cayugabird...@list.cornell.edu> Subject: [cayugabirds-l] FOY Osprey This morning at 7:24am from our kitchen window I saw my first-of-year Osprey flying south over the Flood Control Channel past Inlet Island and the NYS-89 bridge, clearly hunting for fish despite the practicing rowing crews. Despite being out at Allan Treman State Marine Park yesterday morning for nearly 3 hours, and finding 47 species, I managed to miss the Osprey which Suan observed from Stewart Park. People walking at Treman have been asking for weeks whether the Ospreys are back and when I expect them. They are our Charismatic Megafauna, although Bald Eagles are also popular. I think March 26 was my previous early record, but I have been expecting a sighting any day for the past several. - - Dave Nutter -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: Welcome and Basics<http://www.northeastbirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME> Rules and Information<http://www.northeastbirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES> Subscribe, Configuration and Leave<http://www.northeastbirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm> Archives: The Mail Archive<http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html> Surfbirds<http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds> BirdingOnThe.Net<http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html> Please submit your observations to eBird<http://ebird.org/content/ebird/>! -- -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
