All existing monitors must have attended a training session within the past 3 years. If you are a new monitor it is required that you attend one training session.
This year’s training sessions will cover the following topics:
- Natural history of Osprey: Appearance, Behaviors, Range, etc…
- History of Osprey in Rhode Island
- History of the Monitoring program
- The role of the monitor – Expectations
- Submitting your observations – this year I will introduce an alternative way to submit your observations.
- Review of the 2021 season – Preview of the 2021 annual Osprey monitoring report
Please pre-register if possible (go to asri.doubleknot.com/event/calendar/2741). Walk-ins will be welcome. All attendees must wear a mask.
Thank you for you interest in supporting the program and helping Osprey!
