After disappearing from Long Island in the 1970's, the return of the Osprey is an impressive success. Environmentalists point to the banning of DDT ( a strong pesticide ) as a major factor in the return of these magnificent fish hawks. This nest is just off a bike trail on the south shore and we were "buzzed" by a nesting pair until we left the area. Difficult to catch with a hand held camera! (best in large view )
