This Osprey’s Secret Blew My Mind

Imagine rescuing a rare bird, only to find out she’s a 19-year-old legend who helped save her entire species in Iowa! That’s what happened when two birdwatchers found an injured osprey on the road. Turns out, she was part of a conservation program back in 2006 and is way older than most ospreys ever get. She’s basically the grandma of Iowa’s osprey comeback story. Proof that conservation actually works—and sometimes, nature gives us the best plot twists. #WildlifeWin #Conservation #Osprey #Science
