Osprey arrive in Yankton

The plane landing at the Yankton Airport with 24 Osprey, a Peregrine Falcon and a Northern Goshawk.

Gabby is one year old and will be part of a study to see what happens when you release and Osprey at 1. He will wear a tracking device.

We sprayed the Osprey right away, they were hot and stressed.
