Osprey - Egg Incubation, Chick Rearing, and Wild Fostering with Stephanie Ellis of Wild Care

The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History presents Osprey-Egg Incubation, Chick Rearing and Wild Fostering with Stephanie Ellis, Executive Director of Wild Care, Saturday, March 9, 2024 at 1pm.
 
In 2023, Stephanie was tasked with incubating two sets of Osprey eggs, raising the chicks, and finding them suitable wild foster nests. Two of the hatched Osprey chicks were placed right here into the Osprey nest at CCMNH! She will discuss this intensive process along with its successes and challenges. Stephanie will also touch upon the history of Osprey on Cape Cod - a true conservation success story, and the legalities involved in working with Osprey nests, eggs, and chicks.
 
Stephanie is the Executive Director of Wild Care, a wildlife rehabilitation hospital located in Eastham, MA (Cape Cod). She has a special affinity for birds and mice and has worked extensively in the fields of wildlife rehabilitation and avian conservation on both U.S. coasts.
