Tom Andersen's blog about Long Island Sound. Thursday, November 02, 2006. Ocean Sunfish: A Really Big Fish in Larchmont? I’d never heard of ocean sunfish until I read an e-mail that arrived last evening from Judy Silberstein, the publisher of the Larchmont Gazette. An online newspaper. Here’s what she said:. Query: have you seen or heard of anyone else seeing a sunfish in this area or in the interior sections of Long Island Sound? If yes, have you reports of sunfish of this size? Ocean sunfish (Mola mola...

Tom Andersen's blog about Long Island Sound. Friday, November 03, 2006. Ocean Sunfish: Among the Rarest of the Rarities. That was reported in Larchmont Harbor yesterday isn’t just rare, it’s almost unheard of in Long Island Sound. Four of the people I checked in with yesterday told me that, and the people Judy Silberstein interviewed for the Larchmont Gazette concurred. Here’s what Judy found out. Was it a disoriented whale? Among those I asked, Rod Christie (a friend who runs the Mianus River Gorge Pres...

Tom Andersen's blog about Long Island Sound. Tuesday, November 07, 2006. Ocean Sunfish: Not Quite Unheard of in Long Island Sound. It seemed extremely unlikely that the ocean sunfish that had been seen in Larchmont last week was the first one ever to enter Long Island Sound, but of the people I asked, none of those who got back to me relatively quickly knew of any specific occurrences (see this. Here’s what he told me about ocean sunfish:. I saw one on the south shore but wish I'd seen this one too.

sphere: Cicadas in Westchester? Maybe. Maybe Not.
http://thissphere.blogspot.com/2013/05/cicadas-in-westchester-maybe-maybe-not.html
Tom Andersen's blog about Long Island Sound. Thursday, May 23, 2013. Cicadas took over my neighborhood, and most of Staten Island, in 1962. We called them 17-year-locusts and we used a magnifying glass to burn holes in the discarded exoskeletons. I was 8. By 1979, I had learned that they were really cicadas, not locusts, but I was living in the Adirondacks, beyond their range, so I missed them. Seventeen years later, in 1996, I was working as a reporter in northern Westchester. I. Then on June 4, I got a...

Tom Andersen's blog about Long Island Sound. Thursday, April 25, 2013. The Mysterious Plastic Pellets of Mamaroneck Harbor. If we needed a reminder that anything we put down our storm drains ends up in Long Island Sound and its tributaries, we got one recently in Mamaroneck, where millions of tiny plastic pellets washed up on Harbor Island Park. I wrote about how a local resident got to the bottom of it, on Save the Sound's Green Cities Blue Waters blog. Click here. Posted by Tom Andersen at 9:55 AM.

Tom Andersen's blog about Long Island Sound. Tuesday, November 30, 2004. Bye, Little Old Whitey! Bye, Little Old Whitey! Originally uploaded by Andersen-Federico. Yesterday we bade farewell to the decrepit, sodden, smelly, mouse-hotel that was my husband's car, but more recently was our son's heaven on earth. Would be instantly dispelled when we'd see his silhouette, busily steering, adjusting, poking buttons in Little Old Whitey. So, fearing an emotional, how-could-you-do-this-to-me outburst when we tol...
