2014-03-27 Thread Dave Nutter
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

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

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
