The staff at the Sanctuary participated in the satellite radio tagging of two Ospreys from the Peconic Bay area this summer so that we may learn more about their migration patterns and other behaviors. We'll keep you posted on their progress.
Birds are an important part of our daily lives.
They do more than just fill our mornings with beautiful songs. Of course they provide recreational opportunities for birdwatchers and hikers. In order to protect the birds of Long Island, we need to know if their populations are healthy. We need to recognize which birds rely on which habitats at various times of the year. At the Sanctuary, we dedicate ourselves and our resources to discovering the population and migration dynamics of many bird species on Long Island.
