Is there actually a nest, or just a platform that he is simply using as a perch?

McGovern Fields, replacing (literally) a nest which Ospreys built atop the same
pole, right? McGovern Fields occupy the NE corner of the fields between East

Thanks Karel, very interesting and a great jumping off place to increase
enjoyment of osprey observation.

This morning there were some 200 Tree Swallows hawking insects at the mouth of
Salmon Creek (Myers town park) accompanied by a dozen Barn Swallows and a
single Northern Rough-winged Swallow (spotted by Jay McGowan) flying up the
lake. No Cliff Swallows that either of us could pick out.

When I looked with binoculars last week I could see sticks. But I assumed even
then that the sticks had been placed as a lure. I probably shouldn't be
answering because I'm sure Karel knows much more than I do.

Thanks Karel. I only just noticed this nest platform a few weeks ago. Have
since been casually keeping an eye out. Good to know.

First definite sigthing of Olin the Game Farm Osprey Nest male was 7:50 AM on
the NW tower at GF. He was happily eating a Koi fish. 8:20 AM he flew to the
new nest riser and flapped, poked around and sat for a few minutes. Then off
down the tree line west and then south to the reservoir or

When the new nest pole riser was installed on 3/4/2015 the old nest was

The necklace is not really a reliable method for sexing Ospreys in the
field. Males can and do show the necklace, and there's lots of overlap.
As Alan Poole states in the BNA account, sexes often difficult to
distinguish in the field.
Furthermore, it's quite a stretch to take a bunch of

This is just awesome. I can hardly wait to see the map by you and Karen.
Is there some way we general public could contribute to some guesstimate
of the number fledged from all these nests? And to think, in the middle
of the DDT usage, there were no active Osprey nests in upstate New York.
Scott is correct about the difficulty of sexing and identifying individual
ospreys. Their markings can increase in size with age and there are ample
males that develop necklaces over time. The most reliable way to sex adults
is by their behavior.
However, it is possible to use the marking

Over the roar of Beech Hill Brook (just west of the eponymous road,
Lindsay-Parsons Preserve, West Danby) I heard one or more Hermit Thrushes early
this morning, and also a Winter Wren. Fox Sparrows are singing here and there,
Ruffed Grouse are drumming. Wood Ducks have circled my pond, but
This is a great time to get out and watch the ospreys performing their
tandem courtship flight swooping, looping, and circling together in the
wind. It's also the time when the males perform their spectacular sky
dances above the nests. These behaviors only last for a few weeks so enjoy
them while
