Maurice River Recollections Project
Osprey Nest Anecdotes
Ciancarelli
This nest was put up to discourage a pair of nesting ospreys from using a duck blind. The duck blind was very susceptible to predation and likely, the duck hunters didn't enjoy the mess each fall. It was erected in 2001 and used that same year. We have found that nests have been extremely successful when we use the bird's own attempts as clues to where they want nests.

Osprey Colony Project
Introduction Welcome to Citizens United's River Recollections Project. These stories are but a few of my memories associated to osprey nesting structures along the Maurice River and its tributaries. It is part of a larger project including an interactive map of the of river reach lore, live campfire recollection events, documentaries, presentations and archives held by the organization. I believe the greatest connection that people have to a river is the sharing of their bond to it through the telling of stories. These stories are accurate accounts from my perspective the truth, as I know it. The stories are designed to give you insight into some life history of the osprey but are primarily designed to give you a flavor for being an osprey volunteer. Over 150 volunteers have been involved in the construction of the osprey platforms. Sincerely,
