The osprey nest on top of one of the baseball light fixtures in Central Park is occupied. Yesterday afternoon we observed a pair sitting on top of it; then one of the birds flew off and came back shortly thereafter with a small fish in its mouth which it fed to something deeper down in the nest--presumably fledglings?
Other birds seen while walking through the park and the boardwalk at the Harriet Alexander N.C.: Yellow-rumped warblers (numerous-in several places--seen and heard by call) Eastern phoebe (a pair--they regularly nest in the park) Ruby-crowned kinglet (several in different places around the park) Song sparrows Gt. White Egret (1) Blue-winged teal (1 pair) Hermit thrush (1) Turkey vultures (2, circling) And of course, there the "regulars"--red-winged blackbirds, Canada geese (observed several sitting on nests), mallards, wood ducks, A.goldfinches, etc. Susanne Nevin St. Paul ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
