This message comes from the Menhaden-Little Fish, Big Deal. I know that each of you cares for the wildlife, no matter where you live. The Chesapeake Bay area of the United States used to be one of the most populated areas for Ospreys. There are only a few now and the fish they are finding are fingerlings. Will the adults even survive? Please take a moment to consider lobbying on behalf of our fish hawks before it is too late!
Here is a report and you will find information within it so that you can sign the petition to stop the industrial fishing.
I went to the UK as a Commonwealth Scholar in 1990 and received my PhD from the University of Leicester in 1993. After three decades of university teaching, I retired to devote my time to the study of raptor behaviour. I am particularly interested in Ospreys and am working on a long term project on third hatch survival and siblicide in these raptors. My blog is a result of a fascination with my local wildlife and the desire to encourage others to love and care for birds! I live on the Canadian Prairies and prior to the pandemic travelled a lot. I am questioning the use of aviation fuel at the moment as we all strive to help our planet. My early research was in politics and art including British public statues exported to Southeast Asia and Vietnam Resistors that contributed much to Canadian ceramics. Books and articles were published on those subjects over a period of 3 decades. Now I am working on books for children so they can learn about the challenges our raptors face.
