Turtles, seabirds and deer are among the residents of Suffolk County Parks

Suffolk County Parks are filled with wildlife.
Please take care not to disturb them in their natural habitat.
For example, the Makamah Nature Preserve in Fort Salonga, is home to as many as 94 species of birds, and is a prime habitat for owls and woodpeckers.The Cranberry Bog Nature Preserve in Riverhead is home to various plants, birds, reptiles, and other wildlife creatures.
When you visit a park, please be aware of the birds, turtles, deer and other creatures who live in the parks. For more information about the parks, see http://suffolkcountyny.gov/Dep...
