Is that how the bird died, getting mowed over? If not, any info on cause of
death.

Somehow I sent that email without hitting a button. Anyway, Merikay Waldvogel
found the bird and met with our Wildlife Officer Wayne Rich on site. They
salvaged the transmitter, which is probably toast, but maybe parts can be used.
Thanks all!
Cheers,Scott Somershoe

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
