Off former Union Springs Castelli's Marina I saw our 1st C. LOON for this spring. I also saw the BALD EAGLE nest in a tall tree west of Great Gully Rd. along the lake shore. Saw no bird in that nest but believe an eagle was in a tree farther south near what appears to be another nest. Not certain about either. There is no other place that I know of to see the nest other than either side of the white farm house across from the state marker. I do not recommend driving on the private roads.
"Our" ospreys on No. One Rd. have added a fair pile of sticks on their platform despite the wind. I saw them both on Mon. really hunkered down, faces to the west wind, looking miserable & cold. Saw my 1st song sparrow this a.m.. Female N. FLICKER was at the suet again. Nice to see the kestral near Half Acre.
