Re: [cayugabirds-l] Ospreys back at Myer's Hill nest

[Candace E. Cornell]

All's right with the world once the Ospreys return . . . and now they are
back.

As of this morning, many of the breeding Ospreys in the Ithaca and Lansing
area have returned to their nests. I can't be sure if these are the same
birds as last year, but their behavior indicates they are. A few of the
nesters along Rt 90 have reclaimed their nests and the others are surely on
their way! No Ospreys nesting along Rt 89 yet. From a limited time of
observation, it appears that the new disks on 5&20 are attracting limited
Ospreys, but none have been claimed. The male that was nesting on the
oldest 5&20 nest has not returned since his nest was removed and replaced
with a disk. By next week hopefully most nests in the basin will be filled
and we should be able to ascertain if all the mates made it safely home.

Be on the lookout for the Ospreys high in the air sky dancing, as they woo
their mates with sticks or fish in their talons. It's fascinating to watch
the Ospreys do fly-bys, breaking off sticks from the bare treetops to place
in their nests. It can be quite comical if the stick does not give way.

Eyes to the sky!

[cayugabirds-l] Ospreys back at Myer's Hill nest

[Robyn Bailey]

For those keeping track, I saw 2 Ospreys sitting on the Myers Hill nest 
platform in Lansing yesterday around 7:20pm.

I did hear one at Salt Point on Sunday, but I believe it was already reported.
