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.

A close up on one of the Osprey chicks:

Dinner time:

They are all puffed up, too much excitement for one day:

Janie and Northern Goshawk, she is explaining how this raptor decided it would be fun to get her in the face:
