Osprey Nation Report & Map

Ospreys were driven to near-extinction by the use of DDT in the 20th century. With over 1,000 nests in the state now, they've rebounded strongly. Connecticut Audubon created Osprey Nation to monitor the population's size, productivity, and health.

Volunteers visit Osprey nesting locations throughout the breeding season. Data is plotted on the Osprey Nation map. The annual Osprey Nation report discusses the season and includes tables with year-by-year data. The 2025 report looks at why Osprey productivity dipped slightly.
