[cayugabirds-l] Osprey

[Ann Mitchell]

The Osprey nest just north of Union Springs had two Osprey when I drove by. 
Looked like they were having a bit of fun.

Best,
Ann

[cayugabirds-l] First Pine Warbler & Barn Swallow

[Dave Nutter]

The Pine Warbler which Barbara Chase reported at her feeder yesterday appears 
to be the first record for 2021 in the Cayuga Lake Basin. 

Also, I got a call late this morning from Reuben Stoltzfus at the Montezuma NWR 
Visitor Center where had just heard then seen a Barn Swallow coming from the 
direction of the Main Pool. This also appears to be a first 2021 Basin record.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] because there have been a few questions

[Melissa Groo]

I can't say enough about them either, having worked as a volunteer
photographer there for years. The incredible care, skill, and tenderness
exhibited by the vets, vet techs, vet students, associated rehabilitators,
and volunteer animal drivers--are tremendous.

I know Nancy mentioned considering donating to the hospital--and to the
rehabbers who take in the animals after treatment. I just wanted to add,
please do so any time you bring a bird or other animal to the hospital,
even just a modest donation towards their care of that animal. The hospital
is not funded by Cornell and relies almost entirely on public donations.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] because there have been a few questions

[Nancy Cusumano]

And because it comes up here enough, and because we are coming into baby
season, here's what to do if you find an injured or orphaned bird/animal.

https://www.vet.cornell.edu/hospitals/janet-l-swanson-wildlife-hospital/what-do-if-you-find-injured-animal


First, Make sure it is really orphaned. Often, parents will come back for a
baby, especially fawns but other mammals as well.

If it is really orphaned, as in no parents for several hours, you can
collect the animal if it is safe to do. ALWAYS wear gloves. Have a box or
animal crate ready.
If it is injured, call Swanson Wildlife Center at 256-3060. This will get
you to the main vet school desk and they will connect you to Swanson, which
is located at the top of Hungerford Hill Rd off Snyder Hill Rd. You will
have to bring it to them, they do not come get it.
If you cannot get it, you can try calling a local rehabber for help.
Sometimes they have volunteers who can come and assist. For a list of
licensed rehabbers, you can search here, by county.
https://www.dec.ny.gov/cfmx/extapps/sls_searches/index.cfm?p=live_rehab


Swanson does not take rabies vector species-those are racoons, skunks and
bats. There are very few rabies-vector rehabbers left in NY. There is a
good one in Ithaca. But once he is full, that is it. There is only so much
one person (with volunteers) can do.

Swanson is a great resource and we are lucky to have them in the area. And
as Linda mentions, they are a great place to donate to, as are any of your
local rehabbers, who do everything out of pocket.

Happy Spring!

Nancy

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Ospreys back at Myer's Hill nest

[Candace E. Cornell]

All's right with the world once the Ospreys return . . . and now they are
back.

As of this morning, many of the breeding Ospreys in the Ithaca and Lansing
area have returned to their nests. I can't be sure if these are the same
birds as last year, but their behavior indicates they are. A few of the
nesters along Rt 90 have reclaimed their nests and the others are surely on
their way! No Ospreys nesting along Rt 89 yet. From a limited time of
observation, it appears that the new disks on 5&20 are attracting limited
Ospreys, but none have been claimed. The male that was nesting on the
oldest 5&20 nest has not returned since his nest was removed and replaced
with a disk. By next week hopefully most nests in the basin will be filled
and we should be able to ascertain if all the mates made it safely home.

Be on the lookout for the Ospreys high in the air sky dancing, as they woo
their mates with sticks or fish in their talons. It's fascinating to watch
the Ospreys do fly-bys, breaking off sticks from the bare treetops to place
in their nests. It can be quite comical if the stick does not give way.

Eyes to the sky!
Candace

Re: [cayugabirds-l] because there have been a few questions

[Linda Orkin]

That’s a great read and reminds me again how very lucky we are here in Ithaca 
to be able to feel comfortable rescuing animals in trouble.  I have brought 
many suffering beings to them.  This whole philosophy of treating wild 
creatures as individuals is a recent concept in the history of animal 
compassion. I am glad to see it in action here.  A good place to donate to.

[cayugabirds-l] Multiple Fox Sparrows

[Geo Kloppel]

Fox Sparrows are singing all around my place this morning. There are 4 Wood 
Ducks on the pond, several pairs of Phoebes hanging around the sheds, lots of 
Juncos, no more Redpolls. Turkeys are gobbling, Ruffed Grouse are drumming.
