PSEG Long Island has installed protective barriers on electric wires near Mill Pond in Centerport where a family of eagles is nesting. Known throughout the Town of Huntington as The Commodore and Mrs. Vanderbilt, the eagles have recently had two eaglets and have become minor celebrities in the town. Once the eaglets were spotted landing on electric wires, bird watchers contacted PSEG and local officials to take steps to protect the birds. Credit: Jessica Rotkiewicz
