Indeed troubling Candace although just those few data points, arrival
date appears to be accelerating. As a longer term look, when we were
working Osprey and eagles in the Chesapeake, the arrival date for Osprey
on the Patuxent River (our few successful nests in the 70s) was St
Paddy's Day. That's
Ospreys are returning much earlier this year! There have been two confirmed
sitings around Myers Park and at the Myers Hill nest in Lansing yesterday
and today. It's an uplifting sign that spring is coming early, but it is
troubling as to the earliness. Up until 2016, the ospreys at Cargill in
Lans
Cayuga Lake's ospreys are coming home! Two have returned to Osprey Alley
(the stretch between Rts. 90 and 89 at the Montezuma Refuge--MNWR) and the
Union Springs Water Dept.
*Please* send me an email when you first see an osprey at its nests.
Getting accurate arrival dates is important for the Fi
ar an Eastern Screech Owl once a week or so.
