Re: [cayugabirds-l] Osprey (2) appear at Deans Cove

[Candace Cornell]

Great News! I'm glad the riser final got put back into action. Osprey often
need the stimulation of a few sticks to get into nesting mode. It was such
a shame that the folks who installed the new riser up left the entire nest
on the ground below.

It really is too late for a pair to attempt nesting, but anything can
happen. The earliest an osprey has fledged that I've read of was 7 weeks
old. If they pair got down to busy immediately, had only one, big egg, and
the youngster learned to fly and fish remarkably fast, it might be possible
to fledge a chick by the end of September. Occasionally, a dedicated parent
in the northeast will stay by the nest until late Oct. to tend to a fledge
that is struggling with independence.  I've heard of stranger things.

This pair could be a suffering from a failed nest in the last week or so
and are building a frustration nest in the riser. If so, they will probably
mate i n it, but not lay eggs, and then migrate early in mid-August.

We'll have to follow what happens. Thanks for the report!

[cayugabirds-l] Osprey (2) appear at Deans Cove

[Sally Eller]

The platform which NYSEG placed on the pole that had an Osprey nest  last
year has remained empty all spring.
Last week I noticed one Osprey perching on the platform. This morning there
are two there. But probably too late for them to start a family,  right?
The pole is on the west side of Rt 89, just south of entrance to Deans
Cove. Town of Romulus.
