[cayugabirds-l] Osprey nests Towns of Romulus, Varick and Fayette
The nest which is located about 2 miles south of Canoga on the western shore is active and appears to incubating. Route 89. The same is true for the nest on Ernsberger Rd, just east of Knapp Winery, Town of Varick. Both are on NYSEG poles. Alas, no activity again this year for the NYSEG nest on Rte 89 across from Dean's Cove in Romulus.

RE: Re:[cayugabirds-l] Osprey nests.
Thanks to Bill for noting that there is a west side of the lake as well! For several years there has been an osprey nest at the top of the light tower of the former landing strip at the Seneca Army Depot. It is visible from rt 96a, less than a mile past the entrance to the veterans cemetery and before you get to the entrance to Sampson Park. It is sort of behind a relatively new dairy operation on the east side of rt 96a. 42.712627, -76.884976 42°42'45.5"N 76°53'05.9"W There has also been an osprey nest in downtown Geneva at the top of the Verizon cell tower.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Osprey nests.
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.
