We meet again this very early morn at Duck Pond.

Young Gray Seal pup discovered Jan 22, 2017 on Southside Fishers Island parallel to Elizabeth Field airport.
I sighted this juvenile Harrier on January 5th across from the Driving Range, middle Fishers Island.
Ringing in the “Happy” New Year here on Fishers Island, rare sightings of Bluebirds have been noted between Hay Harbor Mansion Cottages and the Softball field-even more rare for January.
