This morning I ran to the Town Dock at the end of Pine Neck Ave in E Patchogue.
This is where the swan river enters the Great South Bay.
There is an osprey tower with a pair of osprey (first year for a pair). A
subadult (probably 2nd year) bald eagle flew above and was chased off by an
Osprey.
I have been seeing a single Turkey vulture around my dock for weeks,
today joined by a second one and escorted away by the pair of Ospreys
who finally kicked out the Canada Geese from their nest this morning.
