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.
The Henry L. Ferguson Museum is pleased to announce that the Spofford Foundation has generously pledged funds to facilitate the ”tagging” of one adult male osprey on Fishers Island with a transmitter that will enable interested parties to track the selected bird’s travel patterns via daily Google Earth downloads.
To enter the contest: Please submit possible names for the soon-to-be-tagged male osprey to the HLFM by
April 15, 2013.
The prize is a pair of Nikon birding binoculars.
One of the most extraordinary gifts received by the Museum in recent years is an antique iron treasure chest
