Bill Colman captured this image of an osprey hunting for fish July 20, 2018 at a dock owned by his in-laws, Bob and Margot Meyer. The picture was taken with a Nikon D800 camera.
Southold Town, which includes Fishers Island, Plum Island and Robins Island, has the densest population of breeding ospreys in eastern Long Island. In 2018, Andrew Edwards used a drone to record 34 fledglings in 17 active nests on Fishers Island.

Island Sentinels lend their support to “Conservation on Parade” Aug. 11, 2018 at the Parade Grounds. Some 200 people attended the afternoon event, which featured four different stations highlighting plants, birds, bugs, live animals, and the dangers of marine debris.
