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 about 290 miles south.

[cayugabirds-l] They're back—Ospreys on Cayuga Lake!

[Candace Cornell]

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
Lansing returned annually on March 31st and the Salt Point pair returned
yearly on April 5. Each year since, their arrival dates have moved up. Last
year it was March 25 and April 1, respectively. The pair on the Myers Hill
nest came on April 3 last year. This is 18 days earlier than their arrival
last year! I'm guessing it is a consequence of climate change, but such a
leap very is troubling.

Please email me when you see ospreys active on their nests and please
report any new nests you discover in the Finger Lakes region for the annual
osprey inventory. *Thank you very *much. I can't do the work without your
assistance. The !30+/- known nests visible from public roads are listed in
the Cayuga Lake Osprey Trail

.

Out of basin on Seneca Lake, there are seven nesting pairs of osprey at the
Greenidge Power Plant in Dresden, which are attracted by the abundant fish
congregating at the plant's warm outflow. If anyone knows the location of
osprey nests near Skaneateles or Owasco Lakes, please contact me ASAP! One
or two ospreys are regularly seen there, but I have yet been able to locate
their nests. Again, many thanks for any help you can provide.

Have a great and very bird spring!

[cayugabirds-l] They're back! . . .Ospreys!

[Candace Cornell]

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 Finger Lakes nest
inventory and your help is essential and greatly appreciated, as there are
124 nest sites to monitor!

Ospreys at the top of the lake around MNWR and Union Springs are arriving
now. Ospreys nesting in Lansing and Ithaca will start arriving today and
over the next few days. Keep an eye on the Robert H. Treman State Marine
Park, Union Fields, and Cargill nests. Other pairs will return over the
next week. The Stewart Park pair were early arrivals last year. Male
ospreys typically return a day or so before the females. Both ospreys will
be on the Salt Point nest by April 5. I have no arrival date information
for the nests on the west side of Cayuga. I need your help!

A week or so later, a second wave of unmated, often young, ospreys will
come looking for nesting sites. I'm hoping that some of the new nesting
platforms will be used this year. (It usually takes up to five years for
nest platforms to be claimed.) There are four unused nesting platforms in
Ithaca, five in Lansing, one at Dryden Lake, and one at Taughannock Park.

Thank you for any reports you can send.

Eyes to the sky!
Candace

Re: [cayugabirds-l] They're back!

[Regi Teasley]

Well, we have lots of Goldfinches and House Finches. 
Plus the usual suspects: Titmice, Nuthatches, Chickadees and woodpeckers (R-B, 
D, H) and M-doves, DE juncos. 
 The local Carolina wren continues to eat suet from the feeder.
We had a Bluebird drinking at the birdbath on one of those very cold days.
Also, we've had visits from a Cooper's Hawk and a Redtail.

RE:[cayugabirds-l] They're back!

[Laura J. Heisey]

I’m seeing quite a lot of activity at my feeders in Newfield, but fewer 
American Goldfinches for some reason. Over 20 Mourning Doves, lots of House 
Finches, DE Juncos, Northern Cardinals, Blue Jays, Chickadees and Tufted 
Titmouse, several Downy, Hairy, and Red-bellied woodpeckers, 2 Pileated 
woodpeckers, one American Tree Sparrow and 2 White-throated Sparrows (my 
favorite). I also hear an Eastern Screech Owl once a week or so.
