Happy Birthday to two little Osprey and congratulations to Mom and Dad Osprey 🎉

The first chick hatched early this morning, and the second a little later this afternoon, at the Mass Audubon Felix Neck Osprey pole—feeding time comes often, so tune in, keep an eye out with us for the third egg to hatch, and watch these babies grow!

Great Egrets sparked a conservation movement. Valued for their stunning white plums that at one time adorned women's hats, Great Egrets were almost hunted to extinction. Thanks to the efforts of Mass Audubon's founders Harriet Hemenway and Minna Hall and others, Massachusetts passed laws protecting birds and started a movement across the country to do the same.

This hawk is looking at YOU to take action 👉 https://bit.ly/CallYourMAReps

Be the voice for the voiceless. Call your MA state representative by May 19 to request they ask Chair Aaron Michlewitz and the House Ways & Means Committee to strengthen Sections 74 and 75 of the Mass Ready Act by including the language from H5217, which would phase out the use of anticoagulant rodenticides statewide.

We want each of the 160 state representatives to receive at least 10 phone calls from their constituents. Together we have power.

Let’s use it to advocate for a ban on anticoagulant rodent poisons across Massachusetts!
