We are on the back side of March, and our ospreys are on their way…
The usual first ospreys begin returning to their nests the last week of March and into April. I am ready….got some new parts for my tripod, a new field book and my data from 2025 all gathered. I am also sort of shopping for a new car since I put so many miles on….and the cost of gas may be prohibitive for me. Maybe a hybrid? Or maybe I will just have to cut back my miles, and limit the research. I am baffled by many changes on Facebook that may also affect communication and posts….so if anyone wants to contact me, email is the best option ( osprey.mn@gmail.com) ….I appreciate your posts on the FB page very much ( nice to know if anyone is reading what I post) but I don’t always see comments in a timely manner. I see that changes in algorithms have affected readership. (FB wants me to pay to boost my posts). At any rate I hope past monitors will return….please send me an email to let me know. We always need more monitors as the project grows each year. We seek people with a genuine interest in learning about Ospreys, who have a spotting scope and some birding skills, knowledge about breeding behaviors and terminology and are able to make a committment to checking their nest, or nests, weekly thru the breeding season, April to October. If you are unable to for any reason, ( vacation, illness, etc) just let me know so we can plug someone else in if necessary. There is a huge learning curve the first year, so returning monitors are deeply valued. I have a list of guidelines for anyone who is interested….please start with an email.
Otherwise….clean your lenses, get your field books ready!
