Greetings 2020 Monitors,
The nest activity report for the month of June has been completed (please see link below). This data would not be available if not for the time you spend each week to observe and submit your data – Many Thanks!
Thank you also for submitting your observations in a timely manner – it certainly helps us create this report for everyone to see when the information is still fresh.
Unfortunately the number of nests with an “Unknown” status is extremely high at 93. Despite the wonderful efforts of several of you to help “fill in the gaps” we still have many nests across the state that are unaccounted for. If you have not yet submitted your data for these nests, please do so as soon as possible! And if anyone is able to visit and submit observations on any of these nests, even as “just passing through”, that would be greatly appreciated!
Following is a summary of the Activity through the end of June. If you have comments or questions please send them to rhodeislandosprey@gmail.com
