Bellport Bay is  located on  the eastern flyway for waterfowl, where millions of   birds  follow ancient pathways from their breeding grounds to wintering areas.  Many  of these birds stop at our local wetlands for food and rest on their way to their final destinations. The delicate beauty of  these  birds has  inspired generations of Long Island decoy carvers. Help us celebrate our exhibit,  “Floating Sculpture, Long Island Waterfowl Decoys”,  by  participaing  in  a  photo
