In our Danby Area News a local resident reported sighting 2 Osprey in Danby on Feb 3rd. Since this is about 7 weeks earlier than then mean spring arrival date in the Cayuga Bird Club list of same, I question the report's veracity. The individual claimed to have immediately referred to his field guide for a positive ID.
I am curioius what other bird he might have seen - perhaps a Rough-leg? Here is a link to the report - it's on pg. 8 at bottom: http://town.danby.ny.us/DanbyNews/DAN_201103.pdf -- asher -Never play it the same way once. -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html 3) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
