Candace Cornell is no longer able to get out to check Osprey nests, but she and I are both interested in early arrivals.
Please post to CayugaBirds-L any sightings of Ospreys in March around Tompkins County, Cayuga Lake or the Montezuma area.
If you think your sighting might be the first record or you are using eBird or Merlin and they call it "rare", please try to snap a photo - even a lousy hand-held phone photo can help immensely - or say what features helped you ID the bird. Those records especially help to document changes in migration.
If the Osprey was at a nest please describe where and whether it is on a platform or not.
