Monthly Club Meeting – “Monitoring American Oystercatchers on the Delaware Bay”
Club Meeting – Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area Visitor Center, 100 Museum Road, Stevens, PA 17578
Presented by: Emmy Casper, Wildlife Biologist, Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey
Breeding populations of American oystercatchers have been heavily monitored on New Jersey’s ocean beaches since 2003, but little is known about the oystercatchers nesting along the state’s Delaware Bay beaches…until now. Learn how biologists from Conserve Wildlife Foundation of NJ, The Wetlands Institute, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service are working together on a new project to unravel the mysteries of this previously understudied population. Wildlife Biologist Emmy Casper will share stories from the field and discuss how on-the-ground monitoring, trail cameras, and bird banding are all being used to learn more about the oystercatchers that call the Delaware Bayshore home.
