[cayugabirds-l] Ospreys all around

[Candace E. Cornell]

Fellow Birders:



Many of our 150 +/- breeding Osprey pairs in the Cayuga Lake Basin have
returned home and have begun their nesting season. If you are interested in
following one pair, Ophelia and Orpheus, read on. After separate winters in
the South American tropics, these Lansing residents reunited on March 28,
2021, at their nest in the Salt Point Natural Area. This is their ninth
year gracing us with their company and raising a family on the shores of
Lake Cayuga. Ophelia and Orpheus are now busily courting and refurbishing
the nest in preparation for their new family to come.



I’ll be once again sharing glimpses of Ophelia’s and Orpheus’ lives and
that of other Ospreys in both print and video on the links below. Please
join me to witness the miracle of nature and follow the drama of raising a
brood of these magnificent birds. Thank you!



Eyes to the Sky!

*HELP PROTECT OSPREYS!*



·Stay 100-300 feet away from nesting sites during the
breeding season. If an Osprey vocalizes when you're near, you are too
close! *Back off Immediately.*



·Carry binoculars to view wildlife from afar.



·Bring a bag and pick up garbage on shorelines.



•Recycle used fishing line and all materials that can
entangle Ospreys, other birds, and aquatic wildlife.



·Have fun, but do not release balloons in the wild. Popped
balloons are a choking hazard and the string can strangle Osprey and other
wildlife.



·Help keep local waters clean, healthy, and safe. Volunteer
to restore, clean, and preserve the Salt Point Natural Area.



·Join the Cayuga Lake Osprey Network and volunteer to help
monitor Osprey nests in the Cayuga Lake Basin. If you see any *new* Osprey
or eagle nests, please report them to: Cayuga Lake Osprey Network at
cec...@gmail.com.



*Thank you!*

[Laura Stenzler]

This morning there was a pine Siskin in the yard collecting nesting material. 
He/she looked like he had a mustache of short, spiky whiskers!

[cayugabirds-l] Lo. Waterthrush @ Six-Mile Creek

[Suan Hsi Yong]

Louisiana Waterthrush is back singing here along Six-Mile Creek upstream
from the second dam reservoir. Also here is a Winter Wren singing for at
least a few days if not weeks, who I was finally able to see.

Chipping sparrow feeding on my bedroom windowsill when I put up my shade.

Still have juncos. Mockingbird is singing. Bluebirds & tree swallows are 
checking out their boxes on the clothesline arms.

[cayugabirds-l] Chipping Sparrows

[John Gregoire]

Arrived this morning ! (Mecklenburg area). Yesterday we heard an extremely
loud tapping sound that was like a sapsucker but 10Xas loud. When we found
the bird it indeed was a very enterprising YBSA that found our
abandoned parabolic DISH antenna. The exact middle was his microphone. He
found a mate within minutes! Guess we have a new alarm clock. Can be heard
a half mile away with ease.

ANyone planning to bird Fitzgerald Rd area - DON'T. The local Bergen farm
has slathered fields in liquid manure slurry and it really is putrid
outside.
