  • Osprey on parts of the Chesapeake Bay are producing far too few nestlings to sustain their numbers. Recent research by Bryan Watts of William and Mary’s Center for Conservation Biology indicates that a major cause is the industrial fishing of menhaden, a key food source for these birds. The Friends of the Patuxent Research Refuge (FOP) are putting on a program on this topic on June 22 at the National Wildlife Visitor Center (Patuxent Research Refuge) from 1.30 to 3.30 pm. Tickets are required and can be obtained at: https://friendsofpatuxent.org/event-5726783.
