Re: [cayugabirds-l] Osprey on nest, briefly

2018-04-28 Thread Dave Nutter 
This afternoon one Osprey stood on the nest with its wings partly spread 
(Mantling? Solicitation?) while calling for a long time. Meanwhile a second 
Osprey kited fairly low over the occupied nest, then circled and repeated 
several times. 

It looks like an Osprey is incubating (white of a head low and a bit hard to 
see) on the nest at the east end of Stewart Park and also on the nest in Union 
Fields.

 Yesterday afternoon shortly before 5pm I was on the Cayuga Waterfront 
 Trail where it crosses Fall Creek on a green suspension bridge between the 
 end of Pier Road and the western corner of Renwick Wildwood. There’s a 
 pole with an Osprey platform just west of that bridge (it’s not on the 
 Osprey Trail map, and I don’t know its name). If I recall correctly, last 
 year it looked like a nest there would be occupied (sticks being brought, 
 Osprey frequently standing on them), but then it was abandoned. I wondered 
 if there was too much human activity directly underneath. It’s a popular 
 fishing spot. This year on my sporadic observations I had not seen any 
 Osprey at this platform until yesterday afternoon, when I saw an Osprey 
 glide in and alight on the nest. I had just enough time to think, “Wow, I 
 must tell Candace!” before a second Osprey followed, but instead of 
 perching, it descended toward the bird on the nest talons first. The 
 occupant vacated pronto, flying upstream, while the evictor continued 
 westward without even touching down. Maybe there are established Ospreys 
 who don’t want certain other nearby platforms to be occupied.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Osprey on nest, briefly

2018-04-27 Thread Dave Nutter 
Mid-day today I was at Stewart Park briefly, and I saw one Osprey standing on 
the nest west of the green suspension bridges. Nobody bothered it during the 
few seconds I looked at it. I wonder if that was courtship I witnessed before.

The nest at the east end of Stewart Park has an Osprey hunkered down on it, 
presumably incubating.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Osprey on nest, briefly

2018-04-26 Thread Barbara Chase 
I walked around Renwick woods earlier in the afternoon yesterday (April 25) and 
watched that nest for about 15 min yesterday around 1:30pm.  I saw the one 
osprey land on the nest briefly and then fly away when the second one 
approached.  This interaction was repeated at least 5 times within the 15 
minutes I watched.  Once the first osprey sat on the nest calling loudly for 
about 2 minutes before the second osprey came and they both flew off.

[cayugabirds-l] Osprey on nest, briefly

2018-04-25 Thread Dave Nutter 
Yesterday afternoon shortly before 5pm I was on the Cayuga Waterfront Trail 
where it crosses Fall Creek on a green suspension bridge between the end of 
Pier Road and the western corner of Renwick Wildwood. There’s a pole with an 
Osprey platform just west of that bridge (it’s not on the Osprey Trail map, and 
I don’t know its name). If I recall correctly, last year it looked like a nest 
there would be occupied (sticks being brought, Osprey frequently standing on 
them), but then it was abandoned. I wondered if there was too much human 
activity directly underneath. It’s a popular fishing spot. This year on my 
sporadic observations I had not seen any Osprey at this platform until 
yesterday afternoon, when I saw an Osprey glide in and alight on the nest. I 
had just enough time to think, “Wow, I must tell Candace!” before a second 
Osprey followed, but instead of perching, it descended toward the bird on the 
nest talons first. The occupant vacated pronto, flying upstream, while the 
evictor continued westward without even touching down. Maybe there are 
established Ospreys who don’t want certain other nearby platforms to be 
occupied.
