Over the weekend I pulled over by those soccer fields but found no sign of a
nest.

Through the 1990s, ospreys used to appear occasionally out at the Cornell Pond
Unit 1 and forage in the lake area there. (Am betting they still do--I am not
there to see)
I remember standing in my waders, taking out my video camera with its fully
exposed 2 hrs of parental feeding at a redwin
I think someone, probably Chris Tessaglia-Hymes reported seeing an Osprey
carrying nesting material to one of the light fixtures of the foot ball (?)
field in East Hill. I think Anne Clarke also reported seeing one in that area.
I presume it may be the same pair/or bird possibly. I looked at the

I think Osprey are prepared to go quite a distance from where they nest to
where they fish.
At Mono Lake (which has no fish) they fly sometimes 10 miles one way to
freshwater lakes to find food, repeating this several times a day when they are
feeding young. There are 10 or so pairs that nest on

I wonder more about the selection of a nest site distant from the fishing
grounds. Is this a common thing among them?

Hi all,
Today I saw at least three trips of osprey from behind BTI to Beebe lake and
back once with fish and once with stick. It seems it is a quite some distance
to go fishing and nest material collecting.

My local pair of Broad-winged Hawks was up in the light sprinkles, doing an
afternoon courtship flight (my interpretation) just a few minutes ago.
Early this morning I went out in the woods looking for any new arrivals.
Hearing nothing but Junco trills, I was perhaps getting a little bored. To
Hi all,
I just witnessed some really cool Blue Jay behavior. Two jays were on the
ground under one of my feeders, when suddenly one began hopping around the
other in a very odd pose, leaning inward as it circled around the other bird,
almost hopping on one foot at times, standing up tall and wi
I am tracking the local osprey population distribution and density in the
Cayuga Lake Basin. I am also starting to locate nests in the Seneca Lake
Basin and am interested in knowing osprey nest locations elsewhere in
Tompkins County. However, during the spring and summer, I spend the
majority of my
On a historical note, while doing breeding bird surveys at the Seneca Army
Depot in the early 1990s, I recall there was an Osprey nest on the lake there,
which was one of the very few in the region at the time.

Thank you so much Fritzie for rechecking and notating the exact locations
of the osprey nests in your area. As I said in my earlier e-mail, I am
trying to keep track of all the osprey nests on Cayuga Lake and am starting
to collect information on Seneca Lake. Your list of active nests is
invaluable
Evening of Monday April 21, observed 2 osprey with nesting material landing on
each of the three tallest light poles at the Ithaca High School stadium/track.
There are no platforms there so I doubt they will be successful. Took a few
shots with an ordinary camera. Christianne McMillan White
That is a great count Fritzie! Thank you for sharing!
