There is nothing more important to an Osprey than it's nest. It is an
investment for the future and the glue that keeps the family together.
Nests are used year after year and passed down to the next generation.
The birds continually work on their nests all season adding sticks, twigs,
and softer
Recently I also saw an Osprey bringing a double fistful of grass to the nest in
the field NW of Allan Treman marina, when there were young in the nest who are
half grown. I think it’s normal. I don’t know the function, and maybe someone
more knowledgeable can say whether it helps cool the nest,

This sighting is very early for an Osprey. The Osprey used to arrive in the

This is a few weeks early for ospreys, but possible. I'm guessing it's
migrating through. (It's a great time for
them to get lake trout.)
Breeding ospreys start appearing on Cayuga Lake starting about March 25,
although most return in early April.
I usually start looking around the 20th just to

This is a couple weeks early, but there have been some south winds. What
details did you see? Several immature Bald Eagles have been around the south
end of Cayuga Lake, and some have a head pattern similar to an Osprey and quite
