Worse than flies are the ticks. I was on my motorcycle when I took these pics and wearing vented, mesh pants. I actully got a tick on my left butt cheek! Sucked on my butt blood all night until I plucked him out in the morning. I have a wound now. Hope it's no big deal.
Go to a doctor. In about 4 to 6 weeks go again for bloodwork. It takes that amount of time for lyme, babesia and ehrlichia to show up. And no you don't want to ignore any of them. Better safe than sorry.

You should see them hit the water and bring up a fish which is their source of food.
We have Ospreys living near our lake now, its their first year here. They are awesome to watch!

Cool, hope you can get some shots of them. Don't worry, they'll return next year. They're not endangered anymore.

Darn, I can't edit the post. Seems that you only have a specific period of time to edit it.

Forgot to put down that it is a Great Blue Heron and it was taken at Sunken Meadow State Park.

Default Long Island MacArthur Airport Sign

A while back...a poster (TANAples maybe??) was asking for a picture of the LIMA sign in front of MacArthur Airport. Well I remembered this the other day and got one with my phone....here you go!! It is not great...as I had to slow down to like 3 mph and grab the picture when the road was clear LOL.
