After years of decline, osprey populations are rebounding with the help of river cleanup projects, pollution controls and the construction of tall manmade platforms that ospreys utilize to build safe and secure nests.

How to see Osprey

Osprey catch fish in lakes, so look for them flying above larger bodies of water. They fly high, but not so high they cannot see their prey below. Osprey will circle over prey, they drop attempting to snag the prey in their talons.
