Ospreys were scarce due to pesticides and habitat loss, but now they thrive thanks to new regulations and restoration efforts like those at Armand Bayou Nature Center.

Osprey were rarely seen in our area for years due to certain pesticides and habitat loss. They have made a comeback due to changes in pesticide regulations and habitat restoration efforts like those we do at ABNC. Even though most migrate, some can be found year round on our bayou. Fun fact: A group of ospreys is called a duet because ospreys are typically solitary birds, only pairing up during breeding season.
