Re: [cayugabirds-l] All male Ospreys now?

This morning an Osprey on the Union field light pole swooped down to the grass, appeared to grab something tiny, alight back on the pole, then swoop down again and appear to grab something invisible to me, and go back up onto the pole. The pole was swaying a bit in the wind. On Mar 29, 2023,

There was a lone Snow Goose strolling along the daffodil part of the Waterfront Trail just south of Cass Park Rink this morning. It seemed healthy although I didn't see it fly. I circled back around after a tour of three occupied Osprey nests and it was gone. Elaina -- Cayugabirds-L List
