All three osprey chicks at Salt Point have officially fledged as of yesterday! They will still use the nest as a home base until mid-September and have much to learn until then—the finer points of flying and fishing. The middle chick (Paulie), made numerous attempts to land on the tops of trees

[cayugabirds-l] Osprey nestlings

For the last few days, I've been able to see the chicks in the nest at Salt Point during feedings, although I can't tell yet whether there are two or three. The oldest is about twelve days old and they are both/all covered in a rusty brown second down with a light stripe down the back. Their eyes

ospreys lay 2-3 eggs about 2-3 days apart and the eggs hatch in the order they were laid. If our ospreys follow the norm, we should have at least one more chick on Tuesday or thereabouts, and perhaps a third. The chicks grow very quickly, so we might see little heads poking up fairly soon. Candace

[cayugabirds-l] egrets yesterday

Yesterday, while scanning the lake from the Wells College Boathouse, I saw two white egrets flying south, down the lake. Unfortunately, they were too far away for me to get an ID, although I suspect they were Great Egrets. Has anyone seen any egrets in the basin this year? Candace --
