I noticed that an Osprey platform has been installed on the hill above Myers Point. There are already two nests in the area, the first on a pole within the Cargill mining complex at Portland Point, which Robin Bailey's husband Paul (whose last name I forget, sorry), who works with NYSEG, provided
Saturating an area with platforms attractive to Ospreys might be a useful
strategy for reducing unwanted nest-building on utility installations.

I'm wondering what people's thought are about how many Osprey platforms
My question is not just about Osprey interactions, and potential Bald Eagle takeover, but also about food supply and about human interactions. I was surprised Ospreys used the platform at Treman with so many people and dogs around it, but the platform is at the center of the field, and the people

Hi All. My first thought is of the 6 or 7 nests on adjacent power poles along
Rte 5/20 near
Dave,
Good question. To help ospreys repopulate the NE, we need to supply them
with ample nesting platforms. How many platforms should be built? In my
opinion, the short answer is as many as the ospreys need. Cayuga Lake is
large enough to support a number of osprey populations concentrated at

Hi All,
To add my two bits to the conversation, I have seen a third Osprey circling
over
both the Portland Point nest and the Salt Point nest, while both parents
and
young were
The secluded eastern side of the backwater lagoon in the heart of the Renwick
Wildwood (some 200 yards up Fall Creek from the pedestrian bridges) might be a
