We live on the extreme North Shore of Long Island. Our beach has a brackish pond on one side of it, so we get to see all kinds of water fowl and migrating birds. The water fowl love the Sound side for the salt water, and many other birds enjoy the calmer and less salty waters of the pond. Part of it is designated a preserve, so they are also safe there. Monarch butterflies love the goldenrod and Michaelmas daisies that blossom there as well, so we get to see a variety of migrating critters every fall.
