Reported fishing off shore by Lansing Station Rd, 700 house #s area. (Lansing, Cayuga Lake) Neighbor who reported it, thinks a pair nests in woods north of junction of Algerine rd. & Lans. Stat. Rd. She watched a pair flying that direction repeatedly while she kayaked last summer! Donna Scott

We've been getting mobs of redwing males for several days now. A dozen or so at a time. Plus some Common Grackles. On 3/19/2018 9:20 AM, Carol Schmitt wrote: > We had a female Redwing at our feeders yesterday. Isn't this a bit > early, or are they around already? > Carol S. > -- >

Yes, the shore-to-shore mass of Snow Geese was very impressive even at 2:00 this afternoon. “Raft” seems an inadequate analogy; this was more like a floating assault bridge! -Geo Geo Kloppel g...@cornell.edu > On Mar 19, 2018, at 4:28 PM, Laura Stenzler wrote: > > and

I'd love to find that osprey's nest—I have been looking for a few years. Ospreys don't nest in woods, but in the open where they can see 360 degrees to spot predators—eagles and great horned owls. So if you are looking for the nest, look in fields or on a cliff face in the area. There can not be
