JAMAICA BAY WILDLIFE REFUGE
A number of ospreys—birds of prey with six-foot wing spans, almost made extinct by DDT—decided to nest in JAMAICA BAY WILDLIFE REFUGE. Sit by a brackish pond and you may see one of the birds swoop down, snatch a fish from the water, soar to a nearby roost, and rip it apart. And to think, you came here to escape the cruelty of the city.
