The Maryland Osprey Nature Festival is pleased to announce the Oscar Awards – named after Oscar the Osprey, the Bay’s most skilled aerial angler.

The prestigious Oscar Awards recognize those who give their time, utilize their skills and talents, and continue to strive through their actions to be exemplary stewards in our community and of our natural resources and wildlife.

We are pleased to announce that the 2022 Oscar Award for: Dedication to Service was awarded to Robert Randall for among other things, his beautiful and inspiring work with the Special Olympics.

Only three Oscars are awarded. Robert Randall joins Chris Hoffman, who won it for: Meaningful Contributions to the Community, and Mr. Greg Kearns for: Inspire and Promote Excellence in Others.

In a couple of days, I will have their incredible stories on the website. Robert Randall Chris Hoffman

A special thanks to our numerous volunteers who, without you, it could have not been possible. PHS ROTC, you rock.

Did you know?
Drum Point Lighthouse was originally located along the shores of the Drum Point Club, on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay at the northern side of the mouth of the Patuxent River. The Drum Point Lighthouse is now located at the Calvert Marine Museum. Some say that on certain early mornings, you may still hear Mr. Hansen, former Lighthouse keeper.
Would you like to explore the Drum Point Club? Come to the Maryland Osprey and Nature Festival this Saturday.

An osprey arranges its feet to turn the fish so it faces head-first. This reduces aerodynamic drag, making the fish easier to carry.
Here’s an example of an osprey flying high above Drum Point Club in Lusby, Maryland, USA.
