1	Osprey Research Richard O. "Rob" Bierregaard, Jr. is a Distinguished Visiting Research Professor, Department of Biology, University of North Carolina at Charlotte. "I've been studying the Osprey population on Martha's Vineyard, MA, since 1969. Beginning in 2000, in collaboration with Dr. Mark Martell of The Raptor Center at the University of Minnesota, I put satellite transmitters on a total of seven adult birds, six on Martha's Vineyard and one in Charlotte. Beginning in 2004 I began tagging juvenile Ospreys. Through the end of the breeding season in 2008, I have tagged 22 fledgling Ospreys. Tracking young Ospreys on their first migration has proven to be a really exciting avenue of research."	127
