In what will be the latest start for any full moon walk this year, at 9 Friday night you can take a leisurely hike courtesy of the South Fork Natural History Museum and the Friends of the Long Pond Greenbelt behind the museum. Eyes will be on the strawberry moon, the trails will be freshly mown, and the insects will be singing. Registration is by emailing [email protected]

On Saturday at 10 a.m., the museum will have a Dragonfly Day at the Mashomack Preserve on Shelter Island. 

Kevin Munroe, a dragonfly expert, will lead an exploration of Bass Creek and Sanctuary Pond, and participants will use nets to get close views of these beautiful insects. Free registration is required at sofo.org.

A Bonac Airman Behind Enemy Lines

Staff Sgt. Harold Chapman was at the helm of a rapidly descending B-17 Flying Fortress. He was not a pilot. In fact, Chappie, as he was known, had just watched the pilot jump from the plane, his parachute failing to open. Hoping to avoid the pilot’s fate, Chappie was attempting to land the plane himself, according to his son, Rick Chapman of East Hampton. He was the last man aboard.
