Bird Watching on Long Island

Nature Preserves The hectic pace of life on Long Island can make anyone yearn for a walk in the woods. Sanctuaries and preserves across the Island offer a chance to step back, see wildlife in a natural habitat and enjoy some peace and quiet.

Otis Pike Preserve and Peconic Headwaters Natural Resources Management Area. The name is a mouthful, and the park is equally large: 4,500 acres of forest, fields, wetlands and small ponds. The Peconic River runs through the preserve, making it a great spot for bird-watching, fishing and canoeing.
