Live From Tidmarsh!

Posted on May 3, 2017 by Hillary T.

So much is happening at Tidmarsh!

On Saturday, more than 30 volunteers helped spruce up the trails as part of Mass Audubon’s Statewide Volunteer Day.

We are 84% of the way to our goal and all new donations are being matched dollar-for dollar!

And the New York Times featured the project live on Facebook in front of an audience of almost 100,000 people!

If you haven’t had a chance to visit the campaign’s website, please do.

And while you there, be sure to check the latest news and events for info on two upcoming walks on Thursday, May 18, and Saturday, June 3.

Take 5: Awesome Ospreys

Posted on May 1, 2017 by Ryan D.

Did you know that ospreys eat a diet almost entirely made up of fish? Also called fish hawks, ospreys are one of only a few raptors that regularly dive into the water to catch food. And they can carry prey up to 25% of their body weight!

These amazing creatures are known for the large stick nests they build, often on structures like telephone poles or nesting platforms built specifically for ospreys. Look for them throughout Massachusetts, but especially near rivers, ponds, marshes, and bays in the southeast region and the Cape and islands.
