“Trends of the Rhode Island Osprey Population,” with Lincoln Dark, program coordinator for the Audubon Society of Rhode Island’s osprey nest monitoring program. The recovery of the osprey population is one of the most inspiring stories of wildlife conservation, but how has the local population in Rhode Island changed? In this presentation, Lincoln will discuss osprey nesting biology, the history of osprey monitoring in Rhode Island, and the trends in distribution and abundance of osprey nests in our state.
