OSPREY WITH PREY
Falcon Sahin of East Setauket was in the right place at the right time when he spotted an osprey carrying a fish back to a nest in Cranes Neck in early July and captured this incredible shot. He writes, “This was a challenging photo. Had to wait until low tide to get close. But at the end it was worth the wait, getting wet and bitten by mosquitoes. “
EYE CANDY
Maria Hoffman of East Setauket snapped this photo on July 18. She writes, ‘I was on the harborside beach of Port Jeff Harbor’s western headland just south of the inlet. As I scanned the busy Saturday harbor, the bright bold colors of the spinnaker sail caught my eye. As the boat moved toward Port Jeff Village I realized that the striped sail would soon pass by the stacks with their candy striping and just waited for the moment.’
