Allens Pond Sanctuary’s Director, Gina Purtell keeps us up to date on local osprey as they move
through spring. EverythingWestport.com Wednesday,
April 10, 2013 Allens Pond Sanctuary’s Director, Gina Purtell
keeps us up to date on the local osprey as they move through spring. The story continues.... “While daffodils burst into bloom and we rev
up our lawnmowers, female osprey are hunkering down for five weeks of
stillness. For the next 35 days or more, each female
has the important job of radiating her warmth to 3 or 4 eggs beneath her and
simultaneously sheltering the eggs from rain, wind, parasites, and
predators.” “To participate in an intensive, day-long
dive into the lives of osprey, the Sanctuary is offering an Adult Field
School on Monday, June 24th. To register and learn more, go to: www.massaudubon.org/allenspond.”
- Gina Purtell “Every so often she will rise up to gently
turn the eggs as needed, perform a brief personal grooming, and maybe take a
spin around the marsh Success lies in the female’s determination
to sit tight and the male’s determination to bring home as much fish as she
will eat. Mass Audubon’s team at Allens
Pond Wildlife Sanctuary keeps track of the breeding activity at nearly 90
nests in the Westport River/Allens Pond Important
Bird Area. With the help of trained volunteers, who work both from roadside
or shoreline vantage points as well as aboard the Osprey Project’s skiff, a
comprehensive dataset is collected and shared with collaborating scientists.”
– Gina Purtell Project sponsors play a critical role in
supplying the funds for staff oversight, boat operation, and the equipment
and materials. Those wishing to support the work in any way are invited
to email the team at allenspond@massaudubon.org. To participate in an intensive, day-long
dive into the lives of osprey, the Sanctuary is offering an Adult Field
