by Pierce Rafferty, HLFM Director The male osprey “Edwin,” tagged with a cell tower transmitter last spring on Fishers Island, recently reappeared in Venezuela after “going dark” for several months over the winter while out of cell tower range. He had last been tracked on September 29, 2013, in northern Venezuela after his long migration
Edwin was out of cell tower range for most of the winter but on Valentines Day his signal was received!

After 45 days of migrating south for the winter, Edwin's last signal was received from Mérida, Venezuela – at the base of the Cordillera De Mérida Mountains.
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, the male osprey that we “tagged” from the nest near Beach Pond has a strong proclivity to fish and sleep in Connecticut.
For unknown reasons, the ospreys occupying the OspreyCam nest did not successfully produce offspring this year.
