Predict his wintering ground and win HLFM prizes…Edwin is Migrating
Edwin began his migration south on August 16. This is early for a male osprey so we will be monitoring his activity closely on a day-to-day basis.
Edwin, Loose in the Nutmeg State
Edwin, the male osprey that we “tagged” from the nest near Beach Pond has a strong proclivity to fish and sleep in Connecticut.

Two eggs in the nest!
On the morning of March 24th, a pair of ospreys was spotted on this nest. They subsequently settled. On April 20th, a single egg was first reported. On April 21st a second egg was confirmed.
“Edwin” Chosen as Name for “Tagged” Osprey
“Edwin” was submitted by Sarah Rose to honor the late Edwin H. Horning (1919-2008), beloved teacher, naturalist and former curator of the HLFM. Sarah has asked that the prize, a pair of Nikon birding binoculars, be kept at the HLFM and used by participants in the HLFM’s Thursday afternoon nature walks. Our thanks go to Sarah and to all who participated in this naming contest.
OspreyCam Live Again
The ospreys are back! The first sighting on this nest was March 21st by Ken Edwards. Since then a solo male has been occasionally touching down. On the morning of March 24th, a pair of ospreys was seen on this nest. The HLFM thanks the Fishers Island Utility Co., the Fishers Island Electric Co., the Fishers Island Telephone Co. and the Fishers Island Conservancy. You have all been essential partners in this project.
