Osprey, an iconic Connecticut resident, nearly disappeared from our state. From a low of three successful nests in 1973 to nearly 800 nests statewide today, osprey have become one of our greatest wildlife conservation successes. The banning of DDT and creation of diverse partnerships to build and install artificial nest platforms helped this species rebound. Osprey are off Connecticut’s Endangered Species List and once again thriving. #WildlifeWednesday #MakingItLast | Connecticut Fish and Wildl
