Abstract
The Osprey restoration program in Iowa began in 1997 and involved translocating young birds from Minnesota and Wisconsin to strategic locations across Iowa. The last year that birds were released was 2016 and currently, the objective is to monitor nesting activity. There are three main areas in the state where Osprey have become well established: the Iowa City to Waterloo corridor, Des Moines and vicinity, and Spirit Lake and vicinity. There are also two nesting pairs on the western border of Iowa south of Sioux City and new nest sites were found in Butler and Guthrie Counties in 2022.
