Join SCAS for: Ospreys of Pelican Island: An Exploration into the Life of the Fish Hawk

Join SCAS on December 21, when we welcome Bob Montanaro, administrative assistant for the Pelican Island Audubon Society.

Bob Montanaro's interest in Ospreys led to a three-year project documenting the lives of these birds of prey at Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge---the nation’s first wildlife refuge established by an executive order of President Theodore Roosevelt in 1903.  The presentation, "Ospreys of Pelican Island: An Exploration into the Life of the Fish Hawk", is a portrayal of a typical Osprey nesting season pieced together from several years of observations and photography.  Additionally, the program showcases encounters with other wildlife in the Refuge---everything from River Otters and a family of Pileated Woodpeckers to fighting Red-Shouldered Hawks!  For more information, visit www.ospreywatch.org

Bob Montanaro is the administrative assistant for the Pelican Island Audubon Society where he handles all aspects of the day-to-day running of the chapter.  Bob has recently finished his newest program, "Critters, Cows, & Cowboys: A Photographic Exploration into the Wildlife and Work of Treasure Hammock Ranch", about cattle ranching and wildlife on a Florida cattle ranch.  For more information, visit www.lunarcabin.com.
