[cayugabirds-l] Osprey nests Towns of Romulus, Varick and Fayette
The nest which is located about 2 miles south of Canoga on the western shore is active and appears to incubating. Route 89. The same is true for the nest on Ernsberger Rd, just east of Knapp Winery, Town of Varick. Both are on NYSEG poles. Alas, no activity again this year for the NYSEG nest on Rte 89 across from Dean's Cove in Romulus.

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.

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 invaluable to my efforts is greatly appreciated. Do you have any anecdotal data on how long these individual nests have been in use by ospreys? Any recollections, no matter how approximate, may be useful. I know you are very busy and will patiently await your reply. Meanwhile, I hope you are enjoying this delightful, albeit changeable, weather and the birds it brings. Eyes to the skies!

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: http://www.dec.ny.gov/cfmx/extapps/bba/bbaMaps.cfm?bndcode=OSPRorder=1year=1985comp=0 Bill E From: Candace Cornell Sent: Tuesday, April 22, 2014 10:42 AM To: John and Fritzie Blizzard ; cayugabirds-l Subject: Re:[cayugabirds-l] Osprey nests.

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 and before you get to the entrance to Sampson Park. It is sort of behind a relatively new dairy operation on the east side of rt 96a. 42.712627, -76.884976 42°42'45.5N 76°53'05.9W There has also been an osprey nest in downtown Geneva at the top of the Verizon cell tower.
