[cayugabirds-l] osprey nest south of Covert?

2020-04-01 Thread Alicia Plotkin
For the past two years, osprey have nested on a cell phone tower that is just south of the hamlet of Covert, on the east side of Rte 96.  When I looked earlier this year, the nest seemed to be missing but I didn't stop and check carefully until today.  There may be a few remnant sticks, I'm

There was a adult male Harrier flying over the fields between the junction of Hanshaw and Friese road on my drive to work this morning. Some crows we’re taking objection to it’s presence. Jim Sent from my iPhone -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME

At 7:00 am in my yard, I noticed a pair “P” of Eastern Phoebes foraging together in the vicinity of the eaves under which they and their predecessors have nested for decades. In the late morning I watched a pair of Great Blue Herons begin construction of a ninth nest out in the heronry by the

I thought you would like to see how Maryland birders are helping fight the virus. The status in Md is a stay at home "order" which imho makes more sense than NY's verbiage. That rookery on guard experience must have been something to see. Thanks for sharing. I'm curious to know if and when you
