The Center for the Inland Bays is looking for volunteers to help the organization conduct its very first osprey count.
Nivette Perez-Perez, CIB project manager and volunteer coordinator, said the last aerial survey, conducted by the Delaware Division of Fish and Wildlife in 2014, showed 92 nesting pairs in the Inland Bays watershed.
This survey is expected to explore a wider range of areas around the Inland Bays, said Perez-Perez in an email Feb. 23. There are expected to be quite a few more nests in 2021 due to the addition of man-made nesting platforms and anecdotal successful fledgling counts reported by volunteer monitors since that 2014 survey, she said.
