On our trip to Montezuma this afternoon, Ann Mitchell & I went north on the east side of Cayuga Lake and returned on the west side.
We saw the same Osprey nest-start which Carol Keeler reported below. An Osprey brought a stick to the middle of the long double crossbar of the first double power pole set at the entrance to the west end of Towpath Rd, off the end of North Mays Point Rd at Montezuma NWR, according to Googlemaps located exactly here: 42.9999, -76.75948 Just north of Union Springs on NYS-90 we saw a Osprey bring a stick to the double crossbar of a power pole on the east side of the road just south of #5089 which is just south of Kozy Kove Rd, somewhere near here: 42.863, -76.695 On the west side of the lake on NYS-89 in the Town of Romulus we saw another Osprey nest-start on a power pole just south of Dean's Cove State Marine Park and just north of Vineyard Rd. It may be the pole which Googlemaps shows here: 42.7418, -76.7698 --Dave Nutter On Apr 24, 2014, at 04:05 PM, Carol Keeler <[email protected]> wrote: A pair of Osprey are trying to build a nest on the power structure at the beginning of Towpath Rd. I watched them break off sticks then lay them on the wooden tower. So, keep your eyes on the beginning of Towpath to see if they successfully construct a nest. It's a new one for Fritzie and Candance's Osprey list. -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
