Maurice River Recollections Project
Osprey Nest Anecdotes
Abbott Farm
There is generally a natural nest in the vicinity of the Abbott Farm on the Menantico Creek. This year we could hear osprey warning us with their calls but we did not find the nest. Many years the nest is in one of a few trees along a 100' stretch leaning over the water. |
Osprey Colony Project
Introduction Welcome to Citizens United's River Recollections Project. These stories are but a few of my memories associated to osprey nesting structures along the Maurice River and its tributaries. It is part of a larger project including an interactive map of the of river reach lore, live campfire recollection events, documentaries, presentations and archives held by the organization. I believe the greatest connection that people have to a river is the sharing of their bond to it through the telling of stories. These stories are accurate accounts from my perspective the truth, as I know it. The stories are designed to give you insight into some life history of the osprey but are primarily designed to give you a flavor for being an osprey volunteer. Over 150 volunteers have been involved in the construction of the osprey platforms. Sincerely,
