Michelle York+FollowThis Osprey’s Secret Blew My MindImagine 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 #Science370Share
Wesley Romero+FollowWho Steals Osprey Eggs?!Just when you think you’ve seen it all—someone actually climbed into an osprey nest in Oregon and stole eggs right in front of a longtime birdwatcher! Ospreys are protected, and messing with their nests is a big no-no (think huge fines and even jail). The birdwatcher snapped pics and reported it, so fingers crossed these egg thieves get caught. Seriously, who does that to baby birds? #WildlifeCrime #Osprey #ProtectNature #Pets70Share
