RE: [cayugabirds-l] Red Tail Hawk appears to be wounded or poisoned

[Karel V. Sedlacek]

Had a chance to go over and found a juvenile RTH nearby, looking very happy and 
flying well.  We believe with Glenn that this is the bird he saw.  Good news.

There is a RT Hawk at Ithaca College that appears to be injured.  The bird 
swooped past me on Textor Circle and then perched low on the Center for Natural 
Sciences Building.  The bird had no visible injury but appeared to have some 
difficulty flying.

through Montezuma NWR property) usually return first, but none were on their

Keep your eyes to the sky and please report Osprey sitings in their nests. Many

We stopped by the Treman Marina (#59) nest this evening after work and were 
happy to see both Ospreys back in the area with the female in the nest.

The male started to fish but was drawn away by a banded, adult Bald Eagle over 
the inlet near the marina.  He gave chase with the eagle heading toward Jetty 
Woods.  Another BE in the trees across from the jetty on the west side of the 
inlet caught the eye of the female and she engaged and ultimately drove it west 
along the southern shore, returning to the nest.  The male caught a fish 
somewhere and re-engaged the first BE, pushing it west across the marina and 
the Hog Hole nest.  The male Osprey then ate its fish on a pole along the 
hillside trail on the west side of RT89.

Nests #60, 61, no Ospreys this evening.
Nest #62 (Union Fields) had an Osprey in the nest as we were leaving ~5:30PM.


Around 7:00PM we sighted an Osprey hover-fishing over Beebe Lake

We stopped by the Treman Marina (#59) nest this evening after work and were 
happy to see both Ospreys back in their nest.  They attempted to mate in the 
wind and the male dutifully attempted several times to catch a fish in the 
marina.  Nice to have them back.


#60, 61, 62 no Ospreys this evening.

Subject: [cayugabirds-l] Osprey nest #59 occupied near Treman Marina

This evening after work instead of biking home I continued north on the Cayuga 
Waterfront Trail to Treman Marina. I wondered whether the south winds had 
brought back any Ithaca Ospreys. Yes! An OSPREY stood on the nest atop the 
platform in the field near the lake NNW of Treman Marina. It's #59 on the 
Osprey Trail.

I sat at a picnic table along the south side of the marina and balanced by 
scope on my window mount for a better view. Somewhere over the lake beyond the 
Osprey, an adult BALD EAGLE flew southwest across my view. A little while later 
it crossed again, closer, tacking southeast. I looked up from my scope to 
better take in the scene. Finally the Osprey had enough and took to the air. It 
chased the eagle up the mouth of Cayuga Inlet, working hard to keep pace. The 
Osprey dove several times at the eagle, which briefly flipped and raised its 
talons. The eagle took shelter in Jetty Woods, perching in among branches. The 
Osprey made a few more passes but could no longer get as close. Having made its 
point, the Osprey flew back to its platform.

I moved to the Inlet near the mouth of the marina for a better look at the Bald 
Eagle. By this time it had moved to the top of a large snag close to the water, 
a more dignified perch. A scope view showed it to have a blue metal band on its 
left leg, but I couldn't tell if there were other bands. I'm guessing that this 
is the male from the nest near the Glenwood Pines. (I imagine him making 
excuses to the female eagle on the nest as to why he took so long or showed up 
without a fish, "There was this pesky little Osprey.") The eagle flew north 
beyond East Shore Park and I lost track of it for awhile, then it came back and 
tried several perches along the Inlet in Jetty Woods and the woods north of the 
marina. The eagle even took a brief flight out over the south end of the field 
with the Osprey nest, but did not provoke another reaction that I could see.

I'm guessing that the Osprey was a fairly new arrival. I wonder if this was 
their first encounter this season as the Osprey(s) and Bald Eagle(s) sort out 
who is allowed where.

About other area nests:

The new Hog's Hole platform (#60) was installed in a different location than 
the tentative site on the Osprey Trail map, approximately here: 42.4574, 
-76.5187. It's in the field west of the dog park and the parking lot behind the 
marina. I think this unoccupied platform is visible from NYS-89 north of the 
Hangar Theatre, but it is separated by a waterfilled ditch and a row of 
ornamental Sycamore-like trees which I suspect are London Plane Trees.

The platform at the northwest corner of Newman Golf Course (#61), new last 
year, is not occupied.

Nest #62 on the lighting pole in Union Field in Cass Park also appeared 
unoccupied.

And earlier today I took a taxi break in Stewart and saw no Ospreys, including 
at platform #63 near the northeast end of the lakeshore.

This evening around 4:45 pm I discovered an Osprey on Rt. 90, south of the
Village of Cayuga. It was in the north lane in front of the Mennonite farm
across from the nesting platform. It was apparently if not obviously the
result of having been hit by a vehicle. Part of one wing  was severed.

After retrieving the bird and severed wing I deposited both near the base
of the nesting platform; it appeared to me to be a mature unbanded bird.
The remaining Osprey seem to be in distress as it called from the tower. I
was unable to file a report from the site not having an internet-connected
phone.

Every year we say the same thing, are the orioles' breast colors more intense

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Olin the Osprey is back

[Karel V. Sedlacek]

Olive is back and the pair have accepted the new nest at GF (aka McGovern 
Fields).  A good afternoon of pair-bonding, territorial survey, and mating, on 
the poles and in the nest.

This nest platform is installed atop one of several poles for lights for 
McGovern Fields, replacing (literally) a nest which Ospreys built atop the same 
pole, right? McGovern Fields occupy the NE corner of the fields between East 
Hill Plaza, Ellis Hollow Road, Game Farm Road and Cascadilla Creek with the 
east end of the East Ithaca Recreationway.
KVS—The 2014 nest was atop the south center, double-side light pole at the 
McGovern Fields.  This caused the lights to be turned off for the duration of 
the nesting season.  Plans were made for a replacement location and through the 
efforts of a lot of folks a riser, built by the Musco Lighting Co was installed 
on the SW tower.

In case other Ospreys start nesting near Game Farm Road, maybe refering to 
McGovern Fields would be better, at least until another of those light poles 
gets built upon!
KVS—It is unlikely (that is the hope anyway) that another Osprey family will 
build on another of the poles at the fields—the outside poles are single-side, 
and the center double-sided poles now have bird-deterrents on them.  In 
addition, Olin and Olive spent considerable energy last season dissuading other 
Ospreys from the area.  Having said that, names are flexible and can be 
adjusted as needed.

The Ithaca reservoir and Commonland are along Six-mile Creek south of NYS-79, 
which is in the next drainage behind Snyder Hill and perhaps difficult to see 
from McGovern Fields, so was that really where you meant the Osprey flew?
KVS1—Yes. This was Olin’s pattern of behavior last year when going to Common 
Lands: circle over the tree line to make a threat assessment near the nest, fly 
west down Cascadilla, to East Hill and linger to assess the area, then turn 
south and head towards Six-Mile Creek.  Having chased him several times this is 
his typical pattern.  When Olive is in the nest he can make the roundtrip with 
a fish in 12 mins.  He sometimes does make the turn up Snyder Hill Rd.

How do you ID the birds as individuals? Is it an assumption based on gender 
(general plumage and relative size) and presence or behavior at the site, or 
are there specific characteristics of individual birds that you use?
KVS—Gender, based on plumage, Olin has no necklace, Olive has the lightest 
Necklace in the southern basin to-date.  Olin has a distinctive set of markings 
on the top and back of the head.  Absolutely behavior: Koi fish raided from 
Snyder Hill, NW tower, bite the fish, look both ways, drop part of fish, flying 
routes as described above.

I recently saw an Osprey perched beside the platform at the NW corner of Newman 
Golf Course and wondered if that indicated it was being used. Moments later I 
saw an Osprey flying from that direction toward Union Fields, so now I wonder 
if it was one of the Union Fields pair just checking it out. I don't know how 
you keep track of individuals.
Ospreys love to do things after a fashion—you do your best to learn them and id 
based on that.

This is just awesome. I can hardly wait to see the map by you and Karen. Is 
there some way we general public could contribute to some guesstimate of the 
number fledged from all these nests? And to think, in the middle of the DDT 
usage, there were no active Osprey nests in upstate New York. Sometimes we win 
an environmental issue!

This is a great time to get out and watch the ospreys performing their tandem 
courtship flight swooping, looping, and circling together in the wind. It's 
also the time when the males perform their spectacular sky dances above the 
nests. These behaviors only last for a few weeks so enjoy them while you can.

All the established local osprey nests in the Ithaca (Union Fields, Treman 
Marina, and Game Farm Rd) and Lansing (Portland Point and Salt Point) areas 
have been reclaimed by their owners. The new platforms at Stewart Park, the 
Newman golf Course, and the two at Portland Point are still not occupied, but 
the season is just starting. However the platform on Myers Hill and the new one 
at Salt Point (now there are two) have both had ospreys bringing sticks to 
them. Whether they'll successfully establish nests and attract mates is still 
up in the air, but the prospects look good. Many of the nests from Union 
Springs to the Montezuma area were reclaimed by last weekend and I expect the 
rest to be occupied any day now.

If anyone sees any osprey nests on the west side of the lake, please send me an 
email with the location.

On the west side there are nests at Dean's Cove, on Footes Corners Rd in 
Interlaken, and at the Seneca Golf Club, but other than that, I haven't found 
any more. The shallow shelf where the ospreys can fish is narrower on the west 
side than on the east side and at the ends of the lake, but it still should 
support some ospreys. So far I have documented 53 nests around the lake, 
although I don't know yet how many of them will be used this year.

Karen Edelstein and I are developing an interactive Cayuga Lake Osprey Trail 
map showing the locations of the nests visible from public roads for every 
one's viewing pleasure. We should have it ready within the month so stayed 
tuned.

Thank you all for your help!

The "necklace" is not really a reliable method for sexing Ospreys in the field. 
Males can and do show the "necklace", and there's lots of overlap. As Alan 
Poole states in the BNA account, "sexes often difficult to distinguish in the 
field.

Furthermore, it's quite a stretch to take a bunch of generalized, common 
behaviors that almost all Ospreys would display, and assign them to a 
particular individual because one feels it's their "fashion".

It's nice that folks are so interested in the local nesting pairs, but perhaps 
it's wise not to go overboard with assumptions about how much we know about 
individuals unless we're reading band numbers off of them like with the campus 
Red-tails.

Fritzie and All,

The Cayuga Bird Club site has a nice page with 2015 Cayuga Lake Basin first 
records, which Dave Nutter tirelessly updates, first records from previous 
years, and 10-year median arrival dates that I calculated based on the first 
records that I kept for 2000-2009. All of this information can be found at a 
slightly different URL than the one in Fritzie's message. Here it is:

P.S. Thanks for the kind words, Fritzie. Thanks to Dave Nutter for continuing 
the first record tradition, and thanks also to Paul Anderson, who I believe 
created this nice web page to display all of this information.

Plus American Robins and Red-winged blackbirds are pretty much everywhere and

In addition to being heart-wrenching, I am curious if it could be some sort of

RE:[cayugabirds-l] Peregrine, I think

[Karel V. Sedlacek]

There was a brief flyover/circle overhead by a Peregrine of BR as she sat on 
the top SE corner of Bradfield yesterday after work.  No dive bombing or 
talons.  The PEFA then continued on toward the Vet School area.   Ezra was 
sitting in the 2012 nest cup at the time and appeared unconcerned.  Not sure 
that the PEFAs have been "driven off" per se, as we haven't seen any recent 
confrontations.  We are assuming that the PEFAs may have made a play for 
territory earlier this winter when they (she) attempted to dive-bomb BR, talons 
down over at Humphreys unsuccessfully.  We're guessing that they have a scrape 
elsewhere to tend to / defend.

small antennas, and which kind of points towards Mann, so you wouldn't be able

Good Morning,

Walking into work this morning in Beebe Hall a bit bleary eyed after arriving 
home in the early morning from Tucson Arizona I remembered to look up at 
Bradfield as I have been doing nearly every day for a month looking for the 
Peregrine Falcons.  To my astonishment I saw one bird sitting about 2/3 of the 
way up on the East side of the building pruning itself on the small ledge that 
juts out from the building.  Moments later the second bird appeared directly 
overhead looking amazing in the bright blue sky and landed about 30 feet from 
the other bird.  This was at approximately 9:30 a.m.

FW: [cayugabirds-l] Two local osprey nest protected

[Karel V. Sedlacek]

Good news!  We were down at this nest between 9:35 - 10:50 this morning and saw 
the following:

  *   both parents were in the nest and then flew off toward the lake
  *   in less than 10 minutes they both returned with a fish and enjoyed their 
meals on separate poles
  *   the male O defending his territory against an adult bald eagle
  *   nest building by both parents
  *   and hanging out in the nest

It appears that they have accepted the new NYSEG riser platform nest.  Many 
many thanks to all of you who helped to ensure the safety of this new family of 
Os!  We appreciate all of your efforts so very much!

Best,
Karel and Cindy Sedlacek (Karels and BOGette)

?I've checked several times this week and they appear to be having no problems

up.

On Tuesday I saw the new nest platform at Cass Park as well as the 2 Ospreys, 
which circled around but did not land on it during the brief time I watched. Is 
there any evidence that they have accepted the disruption/change? Are the 
sticks in the platform the actual nest which was on the light pole before?

I am very pleased to announce that the two local osprey nests, which were both 
potential fire hazards built on light poles, have been saved for the season and 
one permanently. On Monday, NYSEG was able to move the Union Fields near Cass 
Park osprey nest onto a riser without disturbing the birds, creating a 
permanently safe nesting platform. NYSEG to the rescue, again!

Yesterday, the power was cut to the light pole on which the ospreys are nesting 
at the Game Farm Road athletic fields. This is an excellent temporary outcome 
just in time for their egg laying, but a permanent solution needs to be 
arranged before they return next March. Thank you, Cindy and Karel Sedlacek for 
all your efforts and to CU facility manager Patrick Grahamfor your immediate 
attention and cooperation.

There are eight more nests that I am aware of that may present fire hazards, 
all built on NYSEG poles at the north end and northwest side of the lake. NYSEG 
is aware of these nests and will address those deemed hazardous. From my survey 
of nests on Cayuga Lake, I was impressed by the great amount of care and 
attention NYSEG pays to osprey nests in all service regions around the lake.

Thank you to all for your concern and help in protecting these osprey nests.

Haven't seen this mentioned but maybe someone is aware--a second Osprey nest 
has been built (or is in final stages) at Cass Park on one of the lights in the 
middle of the softball fields--reported by phone to the Lab today by an 
(almost) non-birder.

[cayugabirds-l] immGE sighting along Triphammer Rd

[Karel V. Sedlacek]

Sunday 11:15 on the way to Salt Point we spotted an immature Golden Eagle 
hunting low over the fields along North Triphammer just south of the 
intersection of Tripammer and Burdick Hill Rd.  Circled, flared its white 
barred tail, was mobbed and let the slight wind westerly win carry it up and 
eastward.

Good evening.



Does anyone know the location of this season's nest for the pair of Bald Eagles 
that had their nest near the Glenwood Pines last session?



Best,
