Participants may watch the birds through a spotting scope, learn fun facts about these “fish hawks,” touch a replica of an osprey egg, test their skill on the bird migration obstacle course and decorate a pair of “binoculars.”<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0px;">Ospreys are fish-eating raptors that will nest on man-made platforms, such as the one built at Nelson Park for an Eagle Scout project. This summer the parents raised four chicks, which means the fish supply was abundant, and predators, such as Great Horned Owls and Bald Eagles were kept away.<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0px;">At the end of August, the parents will leave first on migration, heading to separate wintering locations in South America. And, although the chicks only recently learned to fly, they will head south to the Caribbean, soaring over open ocean over one thousand miles to find a safe and fish-filled location to spend the winter. <o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0px;">The rain date is August 27, same time.
