02-12-11 10:45 AM OSPREY ON PLATFORM JUST EAST OF MOUTH OF DOWNS CREEK Cutchogue Long Island
The bird was seen while we were leading a group 12 people for a North Fork Audubon Society field trip. Good looks through our spotting scope. This is the earliest Linda and I have seen an OSPREY anywhere on LONG ISLAND ! Let's hope this mean the Groundhog is correct. We named him Abe in honor of our 16th President born on this date.
