FEATURES I had been watching and photographing nesting Ospreys in my neighborhood for several years and had always enjoyed seeing their skillful flying and ability to catch fish. Since 1995, the world-renowned raptor scientist has deployed satellite transmitters on nearly 100 juvenile and adult Ospreys, and he has extensively studied the Ospreys of Martha's Vineyard. Bierregaard banded some of the parent Ospreys that nest in my area of Newfoundland. He told me about OspreyTrax, a migration research project run by Rob Bierregaard, a world-renowned raptor scientist who has developed and attached GPS tracking devices on the backs of migrating Ospreys in several areas of the U.S. and Canada.
