Can you help find this Osprey?
Billie Cantwell
Knoxville, TN
Thank you for your interest in helping our Michigan Osprey group locate
Rachel, one of our young Ospreys who is carrying a gps satellite
transmitter. Her last recorded data fix shows the following
coordinates: *Lat/Lng:
36.13717 / -83.60917*. The mapping on Google Earth indicates this final
fix as being NE of Knoxville, along the Holston River and near the Little
Jump Rapids. Although we don't know for certain her fate, Rachel may have
experienced a catastrophic event and is possibly lying somewhere on the
ground near the river and in the general vicinity of those final
coordinates . We are asking for your assistance in finding her and
retrieving the satellite unit and are pleased you are so eager to help us.
Tracking our migrating Ospreys is a team effort involving MichiganOsprey,
MDNR, Huron Valley Audubon/Michigan Audubon, Detroit Zoo, and USDA Wildlife
Division. Attached are some photos including her last location and one of
the birds wearing the unit. I hope these help to guide you to her.
On behalf of our Osprey partners I thank you for your willingness to
search for Rachel.
Sincerely,
Barb Jensen
Michigan Osprey
