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.
The Museum continues to receive data updates from “Edwin’s” transmitter and is now posting them for Google Earth users to download and view. For more information go to: Track Edwin
Rob Bierregaard, a Distinguished Visiting Professor in the Department of Biology, University of North Carolina, Charlotte, was invited by the Museum to come to Fishers Island on May 11, 2013, to “tag” an osprey with a transmitter.
