Re: [cayugabirds-l] Bald eagle, Dryden Lake

[Regi Teasley]

Eveline,
I shared your question with Hilary Lambert of the Cayuga Lake Watershed 
Network which has worked long and hard to identify HABs and inform the public.  
Birders and lake protectors certainly have common interests.
She is working on your question.

RE:[cayugabirds-l] Bald eagle, Dryden Lake

[Eveline V. Ferretti]

Just awesome-to know these may be breeding here by the Lake.  But I did end up 
with one question on that:  Would the toxic algae blooms that appear to be 
happening in the Lake every summer pose a risk to young (or even not so young)  
fish-eating birds of prey?

There is an eagle sitting on a nest at the southeastern corner of the lake. 
It's mate caught a very small fish right in front of me this morning.

I had the great good fortune of seeing a bald eagle swoop in to land on a tree 
right by the Dryden Lake trail yesterday evening. It's the closest view I've 
ever gotten of this regal-looking bird. He (she? I'm going with "he" as he was 
not so very large) remained perched there for a long time-still there when I 
passed by again 20 minutes after first seeing him--taking in the evening view 
of the lake, where the fish were, in fact, jumping.   And where quite a few

[cayugabirds-l] FOY birds

[Laura Stenzler]

Hi all,
 Today on our property on Hunt Hill Rd.  we had our first of year (FOY) 
chipping and fox sparrows as well as northern flicker. Plus, there has been a 
pair of hooded mergansers on our pond all day. We think the female has chosen 
the owl/duck box that is hanging over our driveway as her nest site. We hope so!
   Laura

RE:[cayugabirds-l] Bald eagle, Dryden Lake

[Magnus Fiskesjo]

I too saw one of these eagles at Dryden lake on April 5, it came in late and 
settled (for the night perhaps), on the manmade wooden perch in the water. It 
might have been the "she".
