Thanks to the efforts of organizations like The Group for the East End who have been monitoring the osprey population on eastern Long Island, recording data and assisting conservation efforts, these birds are on the upswing.

 

Corporations like PSEG Long Island have partnered with these conservationists. Since the resurgence of the osprey population, PSEG Long Island and its team have identified best practices for when to move a nest, and when to create alternative safer nests for the ospreys.

 

The utility has helped to maintain nesting platforms and even installed 24-hour osprey webcams on two platforms located in Oyster Bay and Patchogue. 

 

This spring the osprey returned to the nests that PSEG Long Island installed. Watch the return of the osprey in the video below.
