Long Island Wildlife
PSEG Long Island is proud to play small role in the conservation of wildlife on Long Island. We are committed not only to our customers but to the communities where we serve. We invest in the economy, environment and infrastructure to make the places where we operate better places to live and work. This commitment includes not only protecting our equipment, but also protecting birds like the Osprey and the Monk Parakeets that live along with us here on Long Island.
Osprey
Ospreys have made Long Island’s coastlines and abundant fish populations their home.
Monk Parakeet
Also known as Quaker parrots, these birds are small, brightly colored green and native to South America!
Northern Long-eared Bat
The NLEB is being threatened due to a fungal disease called white-nose syndrome.Helping an Osprey Trouble
A baby Osprey was spotted in distress on our Oyster Bay nest cam. The young bird was one of three chicks raised by osprey parents that have nested on a PSEG Long Island-sponsored nesting platform for several years. Our nest cam is running 24/7, and it’s how the chick’s health problems became known. See how our crews along with local wildlife conservation partners saved the baby bird.
