The Westport River Watershed Alliance will present “Ode to Ospreys,” a free Nature Talks program Thursday, Nov. 19, at 6 p.m. at the Westport Free Public Library, 408 Old County Road.
Gina Purtell, WRWA’s new public outreach director, will share highlights from the 2026 nesting season. She will also discuss the South Coast Osprey Project as it transitions from Mass Audubon to WRWA.
Renowned osprey researcher and conservationist Alan Poole will join the discussion. He will address challenges facing regional osprey populations and the importance of protecting their habitats.
The program comes amid increasing concerns about osprey populations along the South Coast. Speakers will discuss the role of research, monitoring, and public participation in protecting local wildlife.
