[cayugabirds-l] Another view of Union Springs Ospreys

2012-07-25 Thread John and Fritzie Blizzard
Here's my take on the US ospreys. Early MON. afternoon, I saw the probable juvenile osprey on a utility pole east of where Kathy Strickland found the dead bird on TUES a.m.. She notified me soon after she found it. Since then I have several times seen the adults flying over, either going to or c
