At 5 PM today 25 March 2010 atop the first nest on 5 & 20 east of NY 89, just east of the fence around Jackson's mower repair shop, an OSPREY was spotted . . . the first that we have seen this year. None have appeared so far on the Union Springs nest on Number One Rd. /Center St. E, out of Union Springs, or on any of the other 6 known nests between Levanna & Cayuga/Beacon Mills.
About 4:30 we saw an adult BALD EAGLE on the tree next to the nest on the metal tower at Mud Lock. . . . also a first for us, although we believe someone may have reported seeing a pr. in the vicinity several wks. ago. Can't remember for sure. At the Visitor's Center "pool" we saw at least a doz. each of Green-winged Teal & A. Wigeon, many N. Shovelers & several C. Geese in the steady rain. Maybe wet snow tomorrow. Foggy, 44 degrees & raining steadily here. Our CO daughter reports vicious winds, bitter cold & close to 2 ft. of new snow atop the 2 ft. from last wk. at her house south of CO Springs with another storm on the way this weekend. Makes you love NY.
