Bald Eagles and other birds of prey on long island (1 Viewer)

[ssinit]

Over the last few years many birds of prey have moved onto Long Island. Osprey numbers now must be at or above 1000. They can be seen over any body of water. Bald eagles are said to have 30 pairs. Great horned owls are being spotted all over the island. Also many other raptors. What have you seen? Pictures would be great. Here’s some shots I’ve gotten this past month.
