[cayugabirds-l] Osprey Fatality
This evening around 4:45 pm I discovered an Osprey on Rt. 90, south of the Village of Cayuga. It was in the north lane in front of the Mennonite farm across from the nesting platform. It was apparently if not obviously the result of having been hit by a vehicle. Part of one wing was severed. After retrieving the bird and severed wing I deposited both near the base of the nesting platform; it appeared to me to be a mature unbanded bird. The remaining Osprey seem to be in distress as it called from the tower. I was unable to file a report from the site not having an internet-connected phone.

Make that Montezuma and East Road. Sorry! Sent from my iPhone On Jul 23, 2015, at 9:48 PM, Ann Mitchell annmitchel...@gmail.com wrote: I went up north to check on shorebird habitat. More water was added at Knox Marcellus since the weekend which is good news. At the main pool on the Wildlife Drive, the water is mostly gone. The shorebirds are quite distant. LaRue's. Eaton Marsh, and Benning still have water and no mud. The newly created pools at the back of the Wildlife Drive (the area south of Rte 90) have lots of mud and water with some shorebirds including both Yellowlegs, Least and Spotted Sandpipers, Killdeer, and a couple Semi-palmated Plovers. Fifteen Great Egrets were there, also.

[cayugabirds-l] turkey vulture question
My neighbors (in Tyre) have a large, old barn which they do not use, but keep in good repair. Tuesday, they were having a vent put in the round open window on the south side. In the process they noticed a young vulture standing in the corner shedding its downy feathers. When they told me, I went to investigate and found 2 youngsters. Now... the neighbors have gone to England for a week. The barn doors are closed (which they always have been). The south window is vented... They report having seen a vulture enter there only once. There is also a north round open window and a couple barn siding boards are missing, so I am supposing that the parents can still get in. I've gone to check several times and haven't seen any parents around. The neighbors have had quite a bit of work done there recently and I'm just wondering and worrying that the parents have been scared off. Any advice?
