Re: [cayugabirds-l] Fish crows/Osprey nest

[Dave Nutter]

My money is on the Ospreys for a couple of reasons. I think it was last year I 
saw a similar thing happen at the Union Fields nest: a couple of Fish Crows 
were poking around the Osprey nest before the Ospreys had settled in. I don’t 
know what the Fish Crows were doing, but they weren’t serious about using it as 
a nest, and the Ospreys took it back and nested. 

Also, this morning (26 March) about 9am as I crossed the boardwalk on the 
Cayuga Waterfront Trail to enter Stewart Park, I saw 2 Ospreys at the nest 
across Fall Creek, one was on the nest itself (presumably the female), while 
the other was atop the attached perch (presumably the male). So to me that nest 
looked claimed by Ospreys at that point. Later in the morning I walked around 
Renwick Wildwood and saw that the same nest at times had 1 Osprey on its perch 
and another in a tree with a clear view of it. It’s true that the last time I 
looked around 12:30pm there was no Osprey at the nest and a Fish Crow on the 
outside edge of the nest instead, so we’ll have to see. 

I did not notice any Ospreys near the nest at the east end of Stewart Park when 
I was in the vicinity around 10:15.

I saw 3 Ospreys flying over Union Field as I biked along the opposite side of 
Cayuga Inlet about 8:45am and none on the Union Field nest.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Fish crows/Osprey nest

[Marie P. Read]

A pair of Fish Crows also seems to have taken up residence on the Osprey nest 
pole at the west side of Stewart Park, next to Fall Creek. It will be 
interesting to see what happens once the Osprey pair arrives! I did see one 
Osprey along the creek this morning, but none at the nest sites yet.

[cayugabirds-l] Fish Crows

[Linda Orkin]

I heard and saw my first Fish Crows this morning at blue grass lane. I don’t 
know enough about them to surmise where they’ve been or if they’ve been here 
and quiet since the summer. Regardless it was another very welcome voice added 
to the morning mix.

[cayugabirds-l] Fish Crows, Bat, and White-throated Sparrow

[Sandy Wold]

I'm behind in reporting:
Last Thursday, I saw ten Fish Crows flying over Fall Creek toward
Cascadilla gorge.  All were calling; that is how I know.

Sunday, I saw a small bat hunting for insects around 5pm at Ithaca Falls.

Yesterday, I think I had a Chipping Sparrow fly into my garden then up to
my feeder:  white throat, black eyeline, rufous head, two wing bars, grey
above the black eyeline.   House Finches seem to be hanging around more
than in past.

[cayugabirds-l] Fish Crows/Siskins/Chippies

[grosb...@clarityconnect.com]

Hello all,

FISH CROWS continue in Cortland, 2 CHIPPING SPARROWS were under my feeders
this morning, and PINE 
SISKINS are nesting at just about every state forest in CNY this year. 
It's the best siskin nesting year in CNY 
since 2004. FWIW: Siskins have nesting at Summerhill and other state lands
like it in 2001, 2004, 2009 and 
2012. 

Also, last Tuesday (sorry for lateness) in the middle of the day, I heard a
BARRED OWL call twice on the 
south side of the pond at Sapsucker Woods (unless someone was imitating
one). 

cheers,
Matt Young

[cayugabirds-l] Fish crows??

[Susan Fast]

On my morning walk, I passed a local creek where I found 2 CROWS (presumably
AMERICAN) standing in the middle of it, in 2 of rapidly flowing water,
poised like herons.  It appeared they were waiting for little fishies to
swim by.  Unfortunately, they caught sight of me and flew off before I could
see an alleged strike.  Crows are amazing.
