New York has attached these pictures to the Fire Island Reef. I believe that is an error.

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is ny09_shinnecock_ss.jpg
Note the large rectangular structure at lower-left. This is the drydock, with a raised spine down the center which is visible in the pictures. The walls have fallen.

Pumpkinseed Sunfish

Pumpkinseed Sunfish

Sunfishes ( family Centrarchidae, along with freshwater basses ) thrive in small, shallow lakes, sheltered bays of larger lakes, and quiet areas of slow-moving streams. Pumpkinseeds (right) are normally found in shallower water and denser vegetation than Bluegills and Redears. Adult and larval insects make up most of the diet, but sunfishes also eat snails and fish fry.
