More from the bird sanctuary located just off Little Neck Bay between Little Neck and Great Neck.
Again, it’s still New York, but a part of it you’d never know existed. I’m sure many people living just next door to it have no idea it’s there. It’s behind the last row of prefab houses on 255th street, at the bottom end of Little Neck Parkway. Most grown-ups probably think it’s a vacant lot (but teenagers know it’s there and use it for their nefarious teenage purposes), but there are egrets, possums, racoons, rabbits, and all sorts of birds taking advantage of the acres of preserved land with a creek meandering through it all the way to the bay.
