Re: [cayugabirds-l] Osprey nests.

Evening of Monday April 21, observed 2 osprey with nesting material landing on each of the three tallest light poles at the Ithaca High School stadium/track. There are no platforms there so I doubt they will be successful. Took a few shots with an ordinary camera. Christianne McMillan White

Re:[cayugabirds-l] Osprey nests.

Thank you so much Fritzie for rechecking and notating the exact locations of the osprey nests in your area. As I said in my earlier e-mail, I am trying to keep track of all the osprey nests on Cayuga Lake and am starting to collect information on Seneca Lake. Your list of active nests is

Re: Re:[cayugabirds-l] Osprey nests.

On a historical note, while doing breeding bird surveys at the Seneca Army Depot in the early 1990s, I recall there was an Osprey nest on the lake there, which was one of the very few in the region at the time. 1980-1985 NY nesting:

[cayugabirds-l] Please Report Osprey Nests Locations!

I am tracking the local osprey population distribution and density in the Cayuga Lake Basin. I am also starting to locate nests in the Seneca Lake Basin and am interested in knowing osprey nest locations elsewhere in Tompkins County. However, during the spring and summer, I spend the majority of

[cayugabirds-l] Fascinating Blue Jay behavior (courtship?)

Hi all, I just witnessed some really cool Blue Jay behavior. Two jays were on the ground under one of my feeders, when suddenly one began hopping around the other in a very odd pose, leaning inward as it circled around the other bird, almost hopping on one foot at times, standing up tall and

[cayugabirds-l] Courtship flight

My local pair of Broad-winged Hawks was up in the light sprinkles, doing an afternoon courtship flight (my interpretation) just a few minutes ago. Early this morning I went out in the woods looking for any new arrivals. Hearing nothing but Junco trills, I was perhaps getting a little bored. To

[cayugabirds-l] East Hill osprey

Hi all, Today I saw at least three trips of osprey from behind BTI to Beebe lake and back once with fish and once with stick. It seems it is a quite some distance to go fishing and nest material collecting. Cheers Meena Dr. Meena Haribal Boyce Thompson Institute Ithaca NY 14850 Ph:

[cayugabirds-l] Broad-winged Hawk etc.

While we were finishing dinner in our glass-roofed conservatory, I saw a crow-sized bird soar in and begin circling overhead. Hoping for a raven, I grabbed the binocs at hand and was as happy to see it was a BROAD-WINGED HAWK (not a new yard bird but first of year for me and for yard). It

RE: [cayugabirds-l] East Hill osprey

I think Osprey are prepared to go quite a distance from where they nest to where they fish. At Mono Lake (which has no fish) they fly sometimes 10 miles one way to freshwater lakes to find food, repeating this several times a day when they are feeding young. There are 10 or so pairs that nest

RE: Re:[cayugabirds-l] Osprey nests.

Thanks to Bill for noting that there is a west side of the lake as well! For several years there has been an osprey nest at the top of the light tower of the former landing strip at the Seneca Army Depot. It is visible from rt 96a, less than a mile past the entrance to the veterans cemetery

Re: [cayugabirds-l] East Hill osprey

Thank you for reporting your osprey sightings—Has anyone been able to see the nest they are building in the BTI area? Geo said Apparently the promise of owning Beebe Lake as a mostly private fishing reserve outweighs the longish commute! Ospreys are usually not territorial about their fishing

RE: [cayugabirds-l] East Hill osprey

I think someone, probably Chris Tessaglia-Hymes reported seeing an Osprey carrying nesting material to one of the light fixtures of the foot ball (?) field in East Hill. I think Anne Clarke also reported seeing one in that area. I presume it may be the same pair/or bird possibly. I looked at

Re: [cayugabirds-l] East Hill osprey

Through the 1990s, ospreys used to appear occasionally out at the Cornell Pond Unit 1 and forage in the lake area there. (Am betting they still do--I am not there to see) I remember standing in my waders, taking out my video camera with its fully exposed 2 hrs of parental feeding at a

Re: [cayugabirds-l] East Hill osprey

Over the weekend I pulled over by those soccer fields but found no sign of a nest. Suan _ http://suan-yong.com On Apr 22, 2014, at 9:39 PM, Meena Madhav Haribal m...@cornell.edu wrote: I think someone, probably Chris Tessaglia-Hymes reported seeing an Osprey carrying
