CALLING IT A DAY

He writes, ‘This fisherman had waded a good distance out into the water at the base of the Kings Park Bluffs and was casting for a long time. As night fell around him, he threw his last cast, reeled in his line and returned to shore empty handed but was bathed in the beautiful colors of sunset.’

THE MOON AND NEST
Jay Gao of Stony Brook captured this incredible image at West Meadow Beach with a Nikon D750 on May 16. He writes, ‘It was in the late afternoon, and a full moon was rising while the sun was setting on the Sound. I was amazed to notice that the moon was sitting on the top of the osprey nest like a huge egg. In no time, the raptor came back to the nest and I took the shot.’
