| Since 1990 Ospreys have been settling around the edges of Cayuga Lake. Every year, from March-August, Ospreys return from South America to their nests where they raise a new brood of fledglings. Osprey and Eagles were endangered by effects of pesticides in mid-20th century by DDT and related pesticides which were banned in 1972. The Osprey (Pandion haliaetus), also called a sea hawk, river hawk, and fish hawk, is a diurnal, fish-eating bird. Hundreds return in March from South America to the NYS FingerLakes to breed every summer. Then return migration to South America in August. The female parent leaves first, while the male stays a little longer with the juveniles perfecting their hunting skills before also taking flight down to South America. Parents have yellow eyes, while chicks have orange. |
