Osprey Monitoring Training Opportunity

3/14/2016

 
Ospreys are a signature species for the Vineyard. These iconic birds breed on the Vineyard, are easy to spot, and are a beloved symbol of the Island. The steady growth of the population means Felix Neck needs to expand our monitoring program and engage more volunteers. The Sanctuary is working with osprey researcher Rob Bierregaard and volunteer Dick Jennings to train volunteers to help us continue in the important survey program.
Dick Jennings, a leader in this effort, explains the increasing need for support, “The monitoring of the Vineyard osprey population, which I have been heading up for the last 10 or so years, has become a monumental task. We are in dire need of dedicated people to assist in the monitoring. When I first began to head up the census, I had 56 breeding pair to monitor which was somewhat manageable, due to our efforts, the numbers have grown every year reaching 87 pair last year.”
This program has been successful in strengthening and bringing back our island osprey population.  In order to continue, we need your support!  Please help the osprey by volunteering for the Martha’s Vineyard Osprey Monitoring Program. 
Training Opportunity – April 16 at 1:00 pm
Training begins on April 16th at 1:00 pm at Felix Neck Wildlife Sanctuary. Registration is required. Please call the Sanctuary at 508-627-4850 or go on-line to www.massaudubon.org/felixneck for more information and to register for training.
