Doug Risher speaks with Libby Buck of the Linda Loring Nature Foundation about the upcoming return of ospreys to Nantucket and the community science effort known as the Nantucket Osprey Watch. Libby explains when islanders typically see the first osprey of the season and why their arrival is such an exciting sign of spring. She also discusses how the Osprey Watch program allows residents and visitors to help monitor nests across the island by reporting sightings, following specific nests, or contributing observations online through LLNF.org. The conversation highlights the program’s interactive nest map, opportunities to report new nests, and upcoming virtual events including a volunteer training session and Science Pub talk, all designed to help the community play a role in tracking and protecting Nantucket’s osprey population.
