The 2023 season was a record one for Ospreys in Connecticut. More volunteers than ever found more nests, and those nests produced more fledglings, than in any of the previous nine years of the Osprey Nation program. Osprey nests were even found in four inland towns where there had been no records of nests previously.
All the details are in the 2023 Osprey Nation report. Click HERE to read it.

The goal of Osprey Nation is to create a long-term record of data that will give the conservation community a better understanding of the health of Connecticut’s Osprey population.
