Have
you ever wanted to hold a live Osprey in your hands? What if you had to cross a
mucky salt marsh in your bare feet to do it?&nbsp;
Pamela has developed an engaging
video and slide PowerPoint presentation of her work while weekly volunteering
with Mass Audubon and the Southcoast Osprey Nest Monitoring Project on the
Westport River at Allen’s Pond.&nbsp;
Slides include the process of checking nests,
counting eggs, and video of day-old baby Ospreys (rarely seen in person). She
will give a “demo” of banding chicks with an audience participant and describe
the translocation of chicks (for the Illinois translocation project).&nbsp;Photographs which inspired her watercolor paintings, the importance of human
connection, and finally a “therapy session” with Mother Earth on how to work
together to help heal our
environment are all themes of this exciting presentation.
