Congratulations Candace and crew for doing a great job!

Thank you for the efforts you have put in!

Next year probably we will have raise more platforms for the returning young.



Cheers

?I've checked several times this week and they appear to be having no problems 
that I detected. I'll look again tomorrow (Sunday). Thank you for bringing that 
up.

I am very pleased to announce that the two local osprey nests, which were both 
potential fire hazards built on light poles, have been saved for the season and 
one permanently. On Monday, NYSEG was able to move the Union Fields near Cass 
Park osprey nest onto a riser without disturbing the birds, creating a 
permanently safe nesting platform. NYSEG to the rescue, again!

Yesterday, the power was cut to the light pole on which the ospreys are nesting 
at the Game Farm Road athletic fields. This is an excellent temporary outcome 
just in time for their egg laying, but a permanent solution needs to be 
arranged before they return next March. Thank you, Cindy and Karel Sedlacek for 
all your efforts and to CU facility manager Patrick Grahamfor your immediate 
attention and cooperation.

There are eight more nests that I am aware of that may present fire hazards, 
all built on NYSEG poles at the north end and northwest side of the lake. NYSEG 
is aware of these nests and will address those deemed hazardous. From my survey 
of nests on Cayuga Lake, I was impressed by the great amount of care and 
attention NYSEG pays to osprey nests in all service regions around the lake.

Thank you to all for your concern and help in protecting these osprey nests.
