A sanctuary

Lying along the southern boundary of the Town of Oyster Bay, just west of the Tobay Beach bayside, this 500 acre sanctuary is considered to be one of the most important refuges for waterfowl in the northeast. It serves as a major wintering area for more than two dozen species of waterfowl, is a commonly used habitat for several species of ducks and wading birds, and is a stopover for numerous migrating waterfowl, as well as hawks and falcons.

Getting close to nature

The Guggenheim Pond attracts a variety of wading birds including herons, egrets and ibis, as well as ducks, such as the uncommon black duck and American bittern. It is a very unique place to visit and you must acquire a free permit from the Town of Oyster Bay. This keeps the crowds down to a minimum. For the photographer or bird enthusiast, this is a paradise. The minimal noise and lack of crowds allows for people to get an up close and personal look at the beautiful birds and landscape photos.
