Ospreys Return to Iowa After Centuries Away
Iowa’s osprey reintroduction began in the mid 1990s with Wisconsin Minnesota and Iowa collaborating to reestablish the birds. Eggs were moved to Iowa sites, chicks raised, and ospreys released as riverside habitats improved and water quality messages spread. By 2007 wild hatched chicks and nearly 200 released young show the program’s success along Iowa rivers.
