On Inlet Island there’s a tall flat-topped metal pole for electric wires. I
have seen at least ten different species of birds choose to perch on top of
that pole. Twice in the past few days I have seen a Merlin there. The more
recent time the Merlin appeared to be urged off by a Rock Pigeon,
It’s still early for Ospreys to come back. I think the questions are what the
birds will do when they return, and whether people will continue to knock down
nests if Ospreys choose to build other than on discs.
Ospreys and we who love them have been incredibly fortunate that NYSEG’s policy
I meant Cayuga Lake State Park (in Seneca Falls), not Seneca Lake
State Park (where a handful of snow geese have been residing year

The nests are being torn down and replaced with the discs. No sign of Osprey.

Hi Donna and Ann,
This work is being done by National Grid, not NYSEG. NYSEG does not own that
particular stretch of transmission.
The discs are non-conductive, and from what I understand, they usually place
some sticks into the disc to try and attract the Osprey. Let’s hope it works

The local northeast area of Ithaca Merlin returned last week. I saw the Merlin
while looking for the crows. Initially heard then seen chasing whomever

This afternoon we drove by the cell phone tower in the hamlet of Covert, on Rt
96 just north of Trumansburg, that Alicia mentioned. We too had noticed several
weeks ago that last year’s nest was gone. Today there is still no sign of an
osprey.

It's a little early yet - there are no sightings in eBird for Osprey
north of Jacksonville and south of Interlaken before 3/31. Marty always
spots them before I do, but I didn't see them until April Fool's Day
last year.

The sole Osprey nest in Schuyler was atop the microwave comm tower behind
the Tops Market. It had been there for 5 years with great success. Someone
tore it down in the last few days.

The osprey nest on the cell phone tower just north of Trumansburg went
missing at the end of last winter, was rebuilt and used successfully
again last spring/summer, and went missing again about a month ago, I
assume torn down but didn't see it being done.

Just had a Merlin in my black walnut tonight in downtown Ithaca. Anybody
else seeing them?
