Date: 7/31/26 11:48 am From: Kathleen Anderson <00000493e9e2f3f6-dmarc-request...> Subject: Atlantic Seaboard Ospreys in Trouble, Guy McCaskie Memorial, Young Birder Program Registration, and More!
I recently read a more extensive article about the ospreys unable to fledge young in Chesapeake Bay. The article I read was more extensive than this one. It told about the fisheries using airplanes to find the schools of fish, then sending boats and netting them. Also gave statistics about how few osprey are successfully nesting compared to a few years back. The article I read was in Audubon, Summer 2026.. Hopefully it is available online.
