About Me

My photo
Vanessa Greene
I started the Twin Cities Metro Osprey Watch program in 2008 after 15 years of working on the Twin Cites Osprey Reintroduction. I am monitoring all nests in the metro area, training and supervising volunteers who assist with this fieldwork and writing annual reports documenting data collected. We are looking at a variety of areas of research including an accurate productivity study, investigating behaviors such as extra pair copulation and mate fidelity, recruitement of young birds into the breeding population, establishment of new territories, age of first breeding, longevity of pair bonds, movement between nesting territories, etc. I have recieved no financial support, other than donations from supporters of the project, and am driven by passion and a committment to the wellbeing and survival of this species of Raptor. I always need help, so contact me if you would like to become involved with the monitoring or have questions about Ospreys. See full profile for list of publications.
