A drawing tool has been added to the bottom right side of the map. Click the polygon tool and draw the boundary of your monitoring group. This boundary will be used to alert you when new nests are added to OspreyWatch located in your boundary.
Draw the boundary one segment at a time, and be sure to close the boundary by ending it on the first point you added.
You can click "Cancel" on the drawing menu to start over. You can also just reload this page in your browser.
Try to use as few lines as possible. Keep the shape simple. Complex boundaries will degrade the performance of your maps.
When you have completed the shape by joining your last segment to your first point, a save menu will popup. Be sure to save the boundary when you are satisfied with it.
Friends of Osprey, Hog Island, Maine, aims to heighten and broaden awareness about the species and its intrinsic value in the larger ecosystem. We educate ourselves and others about osprey by sharing information (research, photographs, film clips, etc), collect and disseminate data, and make observations of the species during nesting season. We aim to create a collaborative, supportive, and friendly learning environment, for experienced and novice learners alike.
OspreyWatch is managed by The Center for Conservation Biology. The project was developed in an attempt to bring together a global community of observers to collect information for the common good. The project is unfunded and, as such, has been created and managed by unpaid staff and volunteers. Please help support the dedicated individuals who maintain the project.
