Re: [cayugabirds-l] East Hill osprey

[Anne Clark]

Through the 1990s, ospreys used to appear occasionally out at the Cornell Pond 
Unit 1 and forage in the lake area there. (Am betting they still do--I am not 
there to see)

  I remember standing in my waders,  taking out my video camera with its fully 
exposed 2 hrs of parental feeding at a redwing nest, only to have a hunting 
osprey swoop in. It was hunting clearly and gave me just time to wonder if I 
should (or could) rewind a short bit of tape and tape over whatever unknown 
feeding data there were.  I stood there with my dilemma, not doing anything and 
then, too late to act,  watched as it elegantly captured a quite large fish and 
flew off.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] East Hill osprey

[Meena Madhav Haribal]

I think someone, probably Chris Tessaglia-Hymes reported seeing an Osprey 
carrying nesting material to one of the light fixtures of the foot ball (?) 
field in East Hill. I think Anne Clarke also reported seeing one in that area. 
I presume it may be the same pair/or bird possibly. I looked at the map it 
seems BTI is half between Beebe Lake and the Game Farm road.  Distance seem to 
be just under a mile and half between the two points as an Osprey flies!



So it may not be very far from the Ospreys point of view. And South end of 
Cayuga Lake is about 2.5  miles, again as an Osprey flies.



I am blessed that Osprey has chosen that highway where BTI is on the way! I am 
expecting to see more of them as the days progress with lots of fish!



I have also seen them hunting along Fall Creek in the past near Flat Rock and 
beyond.



Cheers

Thank you for reporting your osprey sightings—Has anyone been able to see the 
nest they are building in the BTI area?

Geo said "Apparently the promise of "owning" Beebe Lake as a mostly private 
fishing reserve outweighs the longish commute!" Ospreys are usually not 
territorial about their fishing grounds because fish are a moving resource that 
can't be easily defended. Their nests, however, are stationary and are 
well-guarded by the adults as is the airspace around the nest.

 If there is a nest near BTI, it is not very far from Beebe Lake or Cayuga Lake 
as the "osprey" flies. Ospreys prefer to live within 3.1 miles (3 km) of 
abundant food sources, but will travel further if they must. As Marie pointed 
out, in areas with limited resources, some ospreys will travel as far as 12 
miles between their nests and food source. The limiting resource for ospreys in 
our area is adequate nesting sites. Since sturdy large, dead trees or tall live 
trees with open tops located out in the open and close to adequate food 
resources are rare, ospreys must depend on people to build osprey platforms.or 
take their chances nesting on utility poles and light fixtures.

Eyes to the skies!

RE: Re:[cayugabirds-l] Osprey nests.

[Marty Schlabach]

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°42'45.5"N 76°53'05.9"W

There has also been an osprey nest in downtown Geneva at the top of the Verizon 
cell tower.

On a historical note, while doing breeding bird surveys at the Seneca Army

which was one of the very few in the region at the time.

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.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] East Hill osprey

[Marie P. Read]

I think Osprey are prepared to go quite a distance from where they nest to 
where they fish.
At Mono Lake (which has no fish) they fly sometimes 10 miles one way to 
freshwater lakes to find food, repeating this several times a day when they are 
feeding young. There are 10 or so pairs that nest on Mono Lake's offshore tufa 
towers, which provide nest sites safe from terrestrial predators. They find 
nest material much closer though.

[cayugabirds-l] Broad-winged Hawk etc.

[Chris R. Pelkie]

While we were finishing dinner in our glass-roofed conservatory, I saw a 
crow-sized bird soar in and begin circling overhead. Hoping for a raven, I 
grabbed the binocs at hand and was as happy to see it was a BROAD-WINGED HAWK 
(not a new yard bird but first of year for me and for yard). It circled several 
times giving great looks at the tail before sailing off to the east up West 
Meadow Dr Lansing.

Shortly after 2 WOOD DUCKs flew over (they were in the creek a couple weeks 
back).

I went out to see what other goodies would appear when what to my wondering 
eyes but about 50 RING-BILLED GULLs flying in an almost perfect goose-like V 
(somewhat flatter than the typical goose pattern) on their way back to the lake 
for the night. This is the biggest organized gull group I’ve ever seen. I have 
had small well-formed V’s of a dozen or so gulls pass over in the past (not 
this year) but at first glance up I thought ‘wow what are those snow geese 
doing here now?’.

Apparently the promise of "owning" Beebe Lake as a mostly private fishing

[cayugabirds-l] Courtship flight

[Geo Kloppel]

My local pair of Broad-winged Hawks was up in the light sprinkles, doing an 
afternoon courtship flight (my interpretation) just a few minutes ago.

Early this morning I went out in the woods looking for any new arrivals. 
Hearing nothing but Junco trills, I was perhaps getting a little bored. To 
entertain myself I played a couple of Pine Warbler trills on my iPhone. 
Immediately a Junco flew in close to investigate. "Oops! Sorry..." I apologized 
and moved on.

[cayugabirds-l] Fascinating Blue Jay behavior (courtship?)

[Marie P. Read]

Hi all,

I just witnessed some really cool Blue Jay behavior. Two jays were on the 
ground under one of my feeders, when suddenly one began hopping around the 
other in a very odd pose, leaning inward as it circled around the other bird, 
almost hopping on one foot at times, standing up tall and with its outside wing 
slightly spread. It did this several times, sometimes switching direction, 
while the other watched it. The two separated and both strutted around standing 
up very tall with their crests elevated. Then the circling was repeated several 
times and I am pretty sure that, at least once, it was the other bird that did 
the circling! Then some more strutting. Then both birds seemed to lose 
interest, and started to feed instead.

Never seen anything like it! Quite amusing to watch. I wonder if it was 
courtship…will do some reading to find out.

[cayugabirds-l] Please Report Osprey Nests Locations!

[Candace Cornell]

I am tracking the local osprey population distribution and density in the
Cayuga Lake Basin. I am also starting to locate nests in the Seneca Lake
Basin and am interested in knowing osprey nest locations elsewhere in
Tompkins County. However, during the spring and summer, I spend the
majority of my time observing the osprey nest at Salt Point, Lansing,
making this data collection nearly impossible without the help of others.


If you have any osprey sightings or see any active and inactive osprey
nests in areas *other *than those listed below, please send them to me <
cec...@gmail.com> ASAP. Your help is greatly appreciated!

Re: Re:[cayugabirds-l] Osprey nests.

[Bill Evans]

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:

Do you have any anecdotal data on how long these individual nests have been in

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

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. Christianne McMillan White

These are all nests with visible birds.
I went back twice to check. I'm swamped with work so will check on
a couple other nests soon as I have time but not before the end of the mo. at
the rate I'm going. Hope this helps/clarifies.
